Patrick is need your Help

I'm trying to use Auto Text in Office 2003. Instead of having the text (i.e.
Dear, Thank You , ATTN:) it only has sign in to Office Live Workspace Beta.

What is wrong? I have used Auto Text before with no problems but now it all
gone. How do I go back to the regular Auto Text, with the canned text?
 
I am having the same problem - unintatlling the plugin does not rectify the
problem. I have googled everywhere, but no solutions available...
 
Try the following: Exit Word and rename the Normal template (normal.dot).
The next time you start Word, a fresh copy with factory default settings
will be created.

To delete normal.dot you can search for it in Windows; be sure to search
hidden files and folders.
 
I'm not familiar with the plug-in that you mentioned. Are you sure that you
managed to uninstall it properly?
 
I think this is the plugin that causes the problem:

I have tried reinstalling it, then doing an uninstall, but the autotext
still says "log in to office live workspace beta".

I don't know when I installed Office Live Workspace Beta - I never install
Betas so I can only imagine that it was installed by some automatic update.
I really don't want any "cloud" computing (which seems to be what Office
Live is?) - I'd really like to get rid of it comepletely.
 
I've followed all those instructions (thanks) but there was nothing there
that shouldn't be there, and the problem remains unfortunately
 
Have you tried deleting the Data key in the registry
(HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\<version_number_here>\Word\Data),
or why not the whole Word key for that matter?
