Autotext entries
Is there a way to limit available autotext to one template, in this case my
custom template. I know I can go to the autocorrect tools and select which template to view/limit the entries, however I would prefer if only those entries of my custom template automatically be available, not all available entries from all templates. -- Colonel Blip Remove "nospam" when replying. __________________________________

Autotext entries
If you save the autotext entries in normal.dot (the default) they will be
available for all documents. If you save them in the document templates they will be available only to the documents created from the templates. You can use the organizer to move them between templates. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Colonel Blip wrote: Is there a way to limit available autotext to one template, in this case my custom template.

Autotext entries
I've tried to minimize my Normal.dot changes and instead have a global
custom.dot I use. I suspect there is no way to keep the normal.dot default autotext entries showing up by default?

Autotext entries
I think Colonel Blip knows that. The problem is that the AutoText dialog
setting appears to be environmental. If you set it for one template, the setting is "sticky" for all. Moreover, if you have "All active templates" selected in the AutoText dialog, then any AutoText entry you create using Alt+F3 is stored in Normal.dot. If you want to save specific entries in a custom template, you have to either go to Insert | AutoText | AutoText and select the specific template, or you have to select that template in the dialog, after which entries created using Alt+F3 will be saved in that template, but entries from other templates won't be available in that or any other document until you change the setting back. It could be argued that being able to set the AutoText environment for a specific template would be valuable; it could, of course, be done with an AutoNew or AutoOpen macro, but some users don't like VBA solutions. -- Suzanne S.

Autotext entries
Yes, that is how I keep the list to what I want when I am using Word.
Howver, next time I startup Word it is back to the whole group of active templates. "Suzanne S.
