I've just slapped myself on the forehead. I've just not got used to Word
2007 questions coming up and automatically think in Retro-mode!

Thanks Jay.

Hi Terry,

Roy is correct -- the Organizer in 2007 has been stripped down to only
Styles and Macro Project Items.

On the Insert ribbon, click the Quick Parts button and select Building
Blocks Organizer to see the list of building blocks, which include
AutoText entries. But this Organizer doesn't have any means of copying
entries from another template.

You'll have to use Word 2003 to insert the old AutoText entries into a
document, and apply the intended style to each one. Then open that
document in Word 2007 and use Alt+F3 to save it as an AutoText entry
in whatever template you want them (typically either Building
Blocks.dotx or Normal.dotm).

To make the first part of that job easier, download the AutoTextDumper
template from http://jay-freedman.info. I haven't yet written a
version of the companion template AutoTextLoader that would work in
Word 2007, so you're stuck doing the second part of the job manually.

Tools, Templates and Add-ins, Organizer should have 4 tabs for Styles,
AutoText, Toolbars and Macro Projects. Do you not have the 4 tabs?

Thanks again Terry but excuse me for being thick but in Organiser I can
only see two options "Styles" and "Macro Project Items" nothing about
Autotext entries!

Thanks again

AutoText is basically the same: by default they are saved in the
normal
template unless otherwise changed. You can also copy these to a
template
using the Organizer (and custom toolbars too).

Thanks Terry I have done as you suggested but the problem now is that
although I have managed to copy the styles across the associated
autotext entries for each style is missing e.g. on a regular template
I
use there is a heading for "Companies" in word 2003 I had a style
called
"companies" and a list of company names as autotext entries, and if
there was a new Company then I just highlighted the name and clicked
"New" then that company name was in the list. I hope I am explaining
this ok!

Cheers

Unless you specifically saved your styles with the templates, they
are
saved to normal.dot by default. Do you still have access to your old
PC? If so, you can use Organizer to copy the styles from normal.dot
to
a template. Then being the template to your new computer and again
use
Organizer to copy them to your templates. Don't be tempted to bring
across your old normal,dot to use in Word2007 because it won't work
very well.

I have templates created in word 2003 but when loaded into word 2007
my
styles do not seem to be there. Do I have to create new styles and
if
so how is this done in word 2007, or is there a way to copy the
styles
from my 2003 documents?

Thanks in advance for any advice

Double R
