Hello - when I go to click on INSERT\AUTOTEXT\NEW the NEW is not available to
click on. Same thing when I try to do this in an email with word email
editor on. I would greatly appreciate any tips on how to get this available.

Thank you

Try highlighting the text you want for your new autotext and then click on
Insert | Autotext.

In order to get an AutoComplete tip, you must give the AutoText entry a name
that is at least four characters long and unique. Note also that a shortcut
for creating a new AutoText entry (in the currently selected template) is
Alt+F3 (with text selected).

You must have AutoComplete enabled, and you must wait to see the
AutoComplete tip before pressing Enter. If for some reason this doesn't
work, you can still type abcd and press F3.
