Sounds like either you're not saving Normal.dot or it's being overwritten.

We are clicking on "save" when closing our template that stores the autotext,
which means that the document should save. At least it has for 7 years! Since the 2000 update though we seem to constantly loose the autotext. If you save the normal.doc, you have to give it a new name and so on..... Is there a limit to the autotext file? "Suzanne S.

Since the 2000 update though we seem to constantly loose the autotext.
This is not a factor in Word 2000. I suspect that when you updated your IT people also standardized your templates in some way that replaces them on a daily basis with the old version. This would be a part of your network protocols. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Are you on a network?
What is your operating system? Is your template or the folder containing your template marked as read-only? BTW, it is normal.dot, not normal.doc. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

You need to identify why you cannot save changes to normal.dot. It may be
because it is locked with a temporary file - see http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org linda wrote: I am the IT person and all i did was install the newer software!!!
