Centralizing Autotext.

[TonyV]

I use autotext in Word 2003 to help me quickly insert product details when
producing a quotation for a customer. I make changes as needed to my autotext
entries every month or so.

The other sales people in my department also require the same autotext
entries that I use. At the moment everybody have their own flavour of
autotext entries, causing inconsistencies with our quotations. We want to
have only one master copy.

How can I share my autotext with other users, so any changes will also
reflect on their PC's?

I suppose one option is to replace everybody's Normal.dot file manually with
a copy of my one every month, but I'm sure there must be a better way to
handle this admin task.

How can this be centralised?
Need some ideas here please.
Thankyou.

Hello Tony:

You can copy autotext from one computer to another. The article below
explains how to accomplish this task. I hope this has been helpful to you.
