I apologize if this post saves, since I cannot reply as a continuation to my
previous post, I had to start a new one. Every attempt to continue my
previous thread results in an error message.

The autotext saves with the template apparantly. Since it is there when I
access the template from my computer. I save the template to a network drive
and assign it as the Workgroup templates directory under Word's
Tools>Options>File locations. If I access the template with File>New on my
machine it is there. However, if I use another computer in the same manner,
the template is there along with the macros, but not the autotext.

Another oddity which may shed some light on the problem. I saved the
template to a network drive three directories deep. The template icon appears
in two locations in the dialogh box depending where I am accessing it from.
Accessing it from my machine, it appears in directory specific tab in the
dialog box (as well as the General tab). However, when I access the template
from another computer replicating every move, the icon appears only under the
General tab (along with some files with .doc extensions) and there is no
directory specific tab in the dialog box.

Thanks for any assistance as this is begining to get very embarassing for me
in training when the template does not work from the training machine.
