Sharing AutoText entries Sandy 12/15/2008 9:56:06 PM I have several Word 2007 templates users access from an intranet site. These templates need to use the same AutoText entries. What do I need to do, to share the same AutoText entries with multiple templates? Because this is a long list of AutoText entries, I'd like to be able to update the entries once. Thanks in advance!

That way, these AutoTexts are always available. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Sandy" <Sandy[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:2D9B3210-46D8-4C23-BCAE-F21ECCBAA1AB[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Sharing AutoText entries Sandy 12/17/2008 4:25:02 PM Thanks Stefan. The templates do not reside in a folder for each user. The users access these templates from a single intranet site. The templates reside in one folder. So...if I put the AutoText entries in Building Blocks.dotx, in theory, any template could use these Autotext entries, right?

Re: Sharing AutoText entries "Stefan Blom" <no.spam[ at ]please.xyz> 12/18/2008 12:41:57 PM Yes, the AutoTexts in a user's Building Blocks.dotx template can be used in any document (or template) for that user. However, in this case it seems simpler to create a document template with all the necessary AutoText entries and then copy that template into each user's building block folder. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Sandy" <Sandy[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:A5EF948F-7692-48BA-89ED-BF958CE253DF[ at ]microsoft.com...
