Default Auto text export to another PC - unable to

DEAR ALL
I opened new doc as template;

cut and pasted about 100 names;

blocked all names and gave the list name as 'LIONS NAMES';

high lighted each name and added it in the new auto list name;

deleted all the names;

saved it as 'LIONS TEMPLATE.DOT';

copied it to thumb drive and loaded it in another computer;

opened 'LIONS TEMPLATE.DOT'; tools-macro-macros-organizer- and transferred
all the 'styles' and 'auto text' entries from here to 'normal.dot' of another
computer; closed the organizer;

saved as 'LIONS TEMPLATE.DOC'

But when I opened this document, i dont find the style 'LION NAMES' and also
dont find it in 'auto text'.

What I am doing wrong? Pls help.

Open the 'lion' template and normal.dot on your PC. Use the organizer to
ensure that the style and the autotext in question are indeed saved in the
'lion' template and if not, copy them across.
Take the 'lion' template to the other PC and reverse the process using the
organizer.
My guess is that the autotext entry in question was saved in your normal
template and not the 'lion' template.

DEAR GRAHAM
I have done that only. I even checked the 'lion template", and found the
style and auto text is present. And after reversing by transferring all from
lion template to the normal.dot on the other computer and also see it copied.

Then when I open the new document, I dont see it.

Default Auto text export to another PC - unable to

DEAR GRAHAM
I checked the 'lion template' on my computer and confirm that both the
required style and auto text does exist.

I went to another computer and opened that computer's normal.dot; in
organizer opened 'lion template' dot and reversed the entries. I save this
normal.dot and exit and open as word doc. In the styles I do see the "lions
names" but in auto text tool bar, I dont see "lions name" and do not get
those 100 names copied.

I know I am pretty close but some wrong step which I am unable to figure out.

It will be very nice if u could advice me what needs to be done to see the
'lion names' in the "all entries" and on clicking u see the list of names???

Send a copy of "Lions.dot" to your wife's email.

Put the file "Lions.dot" in her STARTUP folder it then becomes a global
template available to all her documents.
