Auto Text

[Guest]

All my auto text entries have vanished and been replaced by standard entries.
Is there any way I can get my original entries back? I have the same version
of Word on my laptop with my Auto Text entries on it, but if I copy a
document tothe PC , when I open it the entries have gone again.

I am using Word 2003 on a Dell PC with Windows XP.

Hi Alvin

document tothe PC , when I open it the entries have gone again.

You might want to take a glance at the following article:

Using AutoText (by Cindy Meister and Jay Freedman)
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/AutoText.htm

The easiest solution is probably to locate normal.dot on your laptop,
make a copy (normallaptop.dot) and bring it to your desktop.

Then use the Organizer under Tools | Templates and Add-Ins to transport
AutoText entries between different templates.

Hello,

i have the trial version of office 2007 and in order to buy it I need to
know how can I transfer my auto text and the FORMATTED auto correct entries
that I have in my office 2003. I’ve tried but you haven’t yet managed to
transfer them.

Can you help me?
