Can Autotext be saved to a specific document? I knwo it can be saved in a
template, but we use a DMS so our "forms" are actually Word (2003) Docs.
Thanks.

Hi mdavidson

No, you can't store an AutoText in a document. You can only save them in a
template. This is one of the differences between the .doc and .dot file
structures.

Hope this helps.

Hi M.,

In your Data Management System (DMS) Word would, I assume could still be using a template to create files, or as a global template
to hold your autotext entries? I don't recall a limitation in Interwoven's ECM/DMS products that would limit you only to .doc forms
without linking them to a normal Word template (but they have a wide product line these days <g>)
