Hi -
Quick question - I have a user that enters a lot of
autotext entries - we are replacing her PC soon - I am
wondering how I backup her autotext entries -
ARe they stored in normal.dot? Will saving that template
to her new PC, hold and transfer her autotext entries?
also macros?

thanks for your time and help in advance....
Cindy

Yes, they're saved in Normal.dot unless she's explicitly saved them in a
different template. As Greg has pointed out,
