I have set up several AutoText entries, but can't seem to figure out what I
did to this one that doesn't make it work properly. When I select an
AutoText from the menu, it inserts it. If I select another one (even if I
space down more), instead of adding it after the initial one I chose, it
deletes my first selection and replaces it with my second selection. What I
have noticed is different on these AutoTexts from others I have created is
that the entire AutoText appears in a shaded grey field. I'm not sure what I
did on this one differently. Any help you can provide would be greatly
appreciated.

Hi ?B?SlN0aWVobA==?=,

I have set up several AutoText entries, but can't seem to figure out what I
did to this one that doesn't make it work properly. When I select an
AutoText from the menu, it inserts it. If I select another one (even if I
space down more), instead of adding it after the initial one I chose, it
deletes my first selection and replaces it with my second selection. What I
have noticed is different on these AutoTexts from others I have created is
that the entire AutoText appears in a shaded grey field. I'm not sure what I
did on this one differently. Any help you can provide would be greatly
appreciated.

Version of Word?

What is in these AutoText entries, besides just text?

Any chance one is being inserted OVER the other (rather than replacing)?

If you press Alt+F9 to toggle the field codes on, do you see something in place
of what was there before? If yes, what, exactly?
