We are using Word 2000 and we are stil having problems with AutoText. We put
in new ones and they are fine, then all of sudden AT that was logged in many
months ago is gone and today, stuff that was done in the past month is gone,
as well as, the older text. What is happening to it and how do we prevent it
from continuing. We use AT constantly.

I suspect your normal.dot is being overwritten by someone from your IT or
otherwise. You do not need to keep AutoText in normal.dot. It can be kept in
a separate global template. See
http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm for step-by-step instructions
on moving / sharing / copying / backing-up customizations including
AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, toolbars, macros, etc.
