I'm in the process of (hopefully) improving the overall use of Word
XP in our small office. Being a self-taught newbie to VBA, I've found
this newsgroup to be of real value as a source of info and tips.
As part of the process, I've created a global template ( called
RI_Global.dot) which will hold, amongst other things, all our
generic autotext entries, ie - ones we want to be available all the
time in any document.
What I'm seeking guidance about concerns the way a new user-created
autotext entry is "saved" to a template. My understanding is that the
default choice is the normal.dot template, whereas I want the entry to
be saved into RI_Global.dot.
Is it possible to "force" a newly created AutoText entry to be saved
into RI_Global.dot, rather than relying on the users to remember to
choose this template when they access the Insert/AutoText/AutoText
command? Also, can I intercept the "Alt+F3" shortcut to again force the
entry to be saved to my global template?
I've found the appropriate(?) dialog which might be interceptable [ie:
Dialogs(wdDialogEditAutoText)], but I can't see how any of the options
can be manipulated through VBA. Using the macro recorder and selecting
the global template from the "Look in:" drop-down box doesn't shed any
light on the steps involved when I look at the resulting code.
Thanks in anticipation.

Gavin
