Move autotext from Word 2003 to 2007 Building Blocks

M

Mollius

I have tried in vain to move my old autotext entries from Word 2003 to Word
2007 following advice MVP Beth Melton gave on 1/2/2007 to a question by Mike
Kuch: renaming the old Normal.dot to AutoText.dot and placing it into user –
App.Data – Roaming – Microsoft – DocumentBuildingBlock – 1031.
Then I have moved BuildingBlocks.dotx out of this folder, so that there is
only one folder left in the 1031, namely Autotext.dot (which is the renamed
file from normal.dot from Office XP).
It doesn’t work with me. To give an example, I write in Word 2007 NYT and
add F3, there will be no reaction, where under Word 2003 it would roduce
"New York Times".
Where is my fault? I would be grateful for help.
