MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / July 2003autotext entries disappear
Some people at work have been complaining about their autotexts and other customizations being gone in Word 2000. Is there a reason why these autotexts would just disappear? One common reason is that a user has created a copy of Normal.dot and saved it over Normal.dot. See "WD2002: Styles and AutoText Are Not Copied to New Template Based on Normal.dot" at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=291441. The correct way to edit Normal.dot is described at http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Customization/CustomizeNormalTemplate.htm. Another possibility is that the "Look in" setting in the AutoText dialog has been changed from "All active templates" to a specific template. -- Suzanne S.
