Auto Text

[Guest]

How does one go about moving the auto text entries that a user has created on
their machine when they get a new computer?

Thanks

AutoText entries are stored in the Normal.dot global template.
Use the Organizer in "Tools | Templates and Add-ins" to copy the
AutoText entries from one Normal.dot template to another.

AutoText is stored in templates, normal.dot by default. However, you don't
want to just drop the old normal.dot into the new computer. 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.
