Transferring Autotext - Jeanmarie


Posted: Nov 13, 2014

I currently have Word 2003.  Is it possible to transfer my AutoText entries (thousands) if I need to upgrade to a newer version of Word, so I do not have to start over with those entries?  JMJ

yes it is - lj

though be careful if you have entries with bold headings as they transfer over differently

It's a Microsoft article about transferring AT between PCs. In this case, I'd copy my AT entries somewhere else, then move them back once I had the new version of Word installed:

Transferring Employees Due To OOW Situation
Aug 21, 2014

TSM looking into transferring some of us to other TSMs.  We lost a rather large account and have been running into OOW a lot. Hoping I don't get called.  I really, really like this TSM and don't want to have to learn another group of accounts. Are there other areas that need to have more people on it or are we going to just push that group into more OOW?  Hope they study this carefully. ...

Nov 17, 2009

My 7-yr-old computer finally needs to be replaced, and I found a good deal on a new powerful machine, but I do not want to lose all of my Word settings, including dictionary, autocorrects, autotexts, macros, etc. It has taken me years to build these files and they make my work go very smoothly.

When I have tried ...

Word 2003 AutoText Help Please
Feb 01, 2012

The screentip that comes up when typing the first letters of an AutoText entry has stopped working - and since there is no screentip, the option to insert an AutoText entry into the document by hitting "Enter" is not available either.   I can go into AutoText and "Insert" it that way, and hitting F3 inserts the entry into the document from the screen, and all my entries are in there - it is just screentip and Enter that "broke."   This happened from one document to the next.  I ...
