Deleted AutoText entry

How do I retrieve an AutoText entry I deleted?
Specifically, one that comes with the Normal.dot. I want
to get back Filename and Path. In Word 2000, I used to
delete the Normal.dot file, then launch Word and it would
come back. Any suggestions?

The same should work for Word 2002.

Alternatively, if you don't want to get rid of the customisations you might
have built up in your current copy of normal.dot, then you could proceed as
follows.

- Find a document that contains the text you inserted using the Autotext.
- Select the relevant text
- Press Alt-F3, and type in the name of the Auotext entry you want to
create.

You can use the same technique to create your own custom AutoText entries.
