why have my autotext entries disappeared?

[Richard WL]

I installed Office 2003 from new. I copied my old personal autotext entries
from Office 2000. They worked fine, but I found that my default language was
for some reason welsh. I changed the default to english (UK) & removed welsh
& everything else from the language options. Now my personal autotext entries
have disappeared. How can i retrieve them? My personalised autocorrect
entries have remained intact.

The steps you describe shouldn't affect the AutoText entries. AutoText is stored
in templates (Normal.dot by default); in order to lose it, the template(s) would
have to have been removed. If you go into Insert/AutoText/AutoText is that
empty?
