I create or change an Auto Text and it works until I close Word. When I
close Word and re-open Word the new, or changed, auto text disappears. (Word
2003)
 
Is Adobe Acrobat 7.0 installed on the computer? If so, 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 is stored). Create/change the autotext
again, and click "Shift+File | Save All" to force Word to save
the normal.dot template. Alternatively, you can prevent the
add-in from loading as described in the last section of
http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adobe_acrobat_toolbar.htm , but
you'll lose the PDF toolbar if you do this.
