AutoText

[Annie]

Hi I have created some AutoText entries example: Name address etc These all
seem to collect in the Insert menu - Autotext - Normal. Is there anyway that
I can move these entries to another area in the AutoText menu ie: Salutation
instead of Normal - where are they stored on the system? I am an IT Trainer
in Word MOS Expert so I do not have much knowledge of what goes on in the
background - events etc.. Any help would be greatly appreciated on this
matter.

Many thanks

What you want to do is actually quite simple.

Unless otherwise specified, AutoText entries are stored in Normal.dot.
The fact that they display under AutoText/Normal has nothing to do
with location - it's the style that was applied to the text when the
AutoText entry was created.

The AutoText/Normal menu displays AutoText entries created using the
Normal style. So if you want an AutoText entry to show up under
AutoText/Salutation then make sure a style named Salutation is applied
before creating the AutoText entry.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
