AutoText Button in Header and Footer Unavailable

H

HT

Why would it be that when working in the header and footer, that on the
Header and Footer toolbar the Insert AutoText button is
grayed-out/unavailable? All of the other buttons on the toolbar are fine
except that one. Any ideas?!

Thanks -

Presumably because there are no autotexts formatted in the header footer
style - and the usual reason for that is an attempt to create a normal
template other than by allowing Word to create it (which is the only way
such a template can be created) thus eliminating the standard entries. If
you rename normal.dot to normal.old, the standard entries should be
available.
