When I go into a header/footer I cannot insert Autotext entries as when the
"Insert Autotext" button drops down, there are no entries in it

Any ideas ????
 
Two possibilities:

1. The "Look in" setting in Insert | AutoText | AutoText is set to something
other than "All active templates" and there is no AutoText stored in the
current selection.

2. (More likely) You've intentionally or inadvertently saved a document or
template as Normal.dot. See
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/AppErrors/BlankDocNotBlank.htm and “WD2002:
Styles and AutoText Are Not Copied to New Template Based on Normal.dot” at
