The items in that list are the autotext entries that are formatted with Header style or Footer style. Place your new item in a blank document, format it with Header style, select it, and press Alt+F3. Then you can discard the blank document, and the autotext will be stored in the Normal.dot template (which you need to save -- hold Shift while you click File, then select Save All).

Can you do the same thing in Excel? I got it to work in Word, but not in
Excel. Thanks.

What "same thing"? If you mean a dropdown list of AutoText entries, then
no -- Excel doesn't have AutoText. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Foppa wrote: Can you do the same thing in Excel? I got it to work in Word, but not in Excel.

I'm sorry I wasn't clear, I was referring to the "drop down list" on the
Header/Footer tab under Page Setup in Excel. I was wondering if there was a way to save a custom header/footer in this drop down list. Thanks for your help. "Jay Freedman" wrote: What "same thing"?

If this is possible, you're much more likely to learn about it in an Excel
NG than here; this NG is for Word. -- Suzanne S.
