Dissapearing Autotext

[Scott Graham]

When i insert the autotext i want and save it in my
normal.dot, i go in the next day and it has dissapeared.

Also some of my auto texts when inserted into a document
come out in a different font and size to the rest of my
document.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Did you save normal.dot?

document.

Autotexts are saved with their formatting - in recent Word versions - if you
include the paragraph mark that terminates the paragraph. To insert without
fomatting you need a macro:

Sub PlainAutoText()
With Dialogs(wdDialogEditAutoText)
.Display
SelUser = .Insert
SelAT = .Name
End With
If SelUser = -1 Then
NormalTemplate.AutoTextEntries(SelAT).Insert _
Where:=Selection.Range, RichText:=False
End If
End Sub
