Unable to copy autotext from doc to normal using organizer

We're using Word 2000 with Windows 2000 NT on a Citrix server. When I
try to use the Organizer to copy customized autotext entries from the
current document to my Normal template, I receive an error that my
source file is the same as my destination file (because when I select
the Autotext tab - the current document name appearing on the left
changes to my Normal.dot). However, when I select styles, toolbars or
macros - the left box inserts the respective information that is
available in the current.

Help!! I must be missing something!

Thanks in advance!

Hi Michele

AutoText can't be stored in a document, only in a template. Check the
"Look in" box of the Insert AutoText AutoText dialog to see which
template your entries are stored in -- it's probably Normal.dot.
