I've created a shortcut to insert a recurring long phrase in my Word document
using auto complete. It's working fine on the documents I've created on my
PC. However, when I've received a document via email from a coworker, open it
and try to use my autocomplete trick - it doesn't work. Does this have
something to do with my Normal.dot template vs. my coworkers? How can I
create a (global) autocomplete short cut that works on any document?

Oops! I meant autocorrect not autocomplete.

AutoCorrect is global, but it is also language-specific.
