How do you get AutoComplete to retain additions?

[Guest]

Additions are not retained when the program is closed and reopened later.

Is Adobe Acrobat 7.0 installed on the computer? If yes, then the
Acrobat 7.0 Create Adobe PDF toolbar add-in for Word prevents
Word from automatically saving changes to the normal.dot template
(which is where AutoText entries are stored). Create the
AutoText entries again, and click "Shift+File | Save All" to
force Word to save the normal.dot template. Alternatively, you
can prevent the Adobe add-in from loading by editing the Windows
registry key
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\PDFMaker.OfficeAddin"
and changing the "LoadBehavior" subkey value from 3 to 0, but
you'll lose the PDF toolbar if you do this.
