Don't use Alt+F3 to create the AutoText entry. Go to Insert | AutoText |
AutoText and change the "Look in" from "All active templates" to your
template. Once you've done this, you can use Alt+F3, and it will default to
saving in your template. To be able to see/use all AT entries, you have to
change the "Look in" back to "All active templates."
