Auto Text in Word

[Billie Hobbs]

I am a medical transcriptionist from home. I just lost my
auto text which contains hundreds of medical terminology.
Do you know how to restore it?

Billie,

AutoText entries are store in templates see:
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/WhatTemplatesStore.
htm

When you click Insert>AutoText>AutoText, ensure the Lookin
field displays "all active templates" or the template
containing your entries.

and ... once you do rescue it, you may want to move it to some template
other than normal.dot. While normal.dot seems to be less fragile now that it
was a few years back, it still seems to be more likely to corrupt than a
different template. Perhaps this is because of all the use Word makes of it.
You can store your AutoText in a different template and yet have it
available in all of your documents by putting that template in your Word
Startup folder.
