MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / August 2006AutoText Global Template
Hi Is there a way that a group of workers can all share the same autotext entries and, importantly, all add entries for the others to use? To be successful, the facility would need to allow any of them to add their own entries for the benefit of the others in the group, just as simply as if they were adding an entry to their own Normal.dot. Thanks Dave See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/DistributeMacros.htm. The same principles apply to distributing AutoText as to distributing macros. You may want to look at the AutoTextDumper and AutoTextLoader macros at http://jay-freedman.info. They offer a way to put AutoText into a regular document that can be, edited, distributed, and then loaded into any global template.

Best would be to have them send the AT entries to one person who edits the global. See http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm for step-by-step instructions on moving / sharing / copying / backing-up customizations including AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, toolbars, macros, etc. SignatureCharles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome!
