I used to have a very large (500+) list of autotext entries. When I have
come to use them today the default settings are back as if word has just been
installed. Is there anyway I can get my autotexts back?

AutoText is usually saved in your [normal.dot] file. If this file has been
deleted then Restore it under another name. Then use Organiser to extract the
AutoText entries and copy them into the new [normal.dot].

Also thanks from me too. The help files in Word (online/offline) don't help
a bit!

Hi Mike

I have the same problem as Nic. On Friday night all my hundreds of autotext
entries worked fine. Monday morning they were gone. What is organiser please
and where do i find it? Sincere thanks in advance.
