I have autotext stored in aglobal template which I callupon from code stored
in that global template and place it in the current document:

Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdStory ' goto end of document
ThisDocument.AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries(sMG12).Insert Where _
:=Selection.Range, RichText:=True 'Insert autotext entry

For some strange reason, this has stopped working, can anyone assist me with
a solution, please?

ThisDocument is the document which holds your code, probably a template.
Unless it is the same template that holds your AutoText your code isn't
likely to work. The attached template for a template is the template itself
as far as I have been able to tell.

When you say it has stopped working, what has stopped? Does it go to the end
of your document? Does it give you an error message?

If the name of the AutoTextEntry is MG12 I would include it in quotation
marks.

Hi Charles,

The autotext is held in this template.

The MG12 is a defined string with loads of variations so the code in the
document that calls the code in the template with the autotext sets the
string first.

The error code I am now getting is: Run time error 32809 Application-defined
or object defined error.
