Cannot save auto text to Word 2003 Template

S

SMOO

Hi,

I'm having a problem keeping my Auto Text attached to my form. Here is what
I have done so far.

1. Created a document (doc.) Created the Auto Text and added the macro to
insert the Auto Text.

2. Protected the .doc and saved it as a template (.dot).

When I open the template and run the "insert Auto Text" macro (which also
unprotects the form and re-protects it) I get an error message that the Auto
Text cannot be located. I then:

3. Unprotect the template and transfer over the Auto Text (Tools, Templates
& Add ins, Organizer, etc)

4. Re-protect the template.

5. When I go to save the template I can only select the "save as" option.
And when I resave the template I lost the Auto Text and all my macros.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what I am not doing properly?

Warm Regards,

SMOO
