Duplicated Autotext (urgent)

[Anita]

Please help.

In my normal template I have about 100 autotext entries.

I have another template set up for a tender which uses the autotext entries
from my normal.dot. But I want other people to be able to use the autotext
entries in this template when I put the template on a network drive.

I have copied the autotext entries from normal to tender.dot using the
organiser, and it copies them to my tender.dot but repeats them again in
normal.dot so I end up with two copies of each.

I'm desperate to get this sorted out today, can anyone please help?

Thanks in anticipation.

I don't want to delete them, there are too many. I need to understand why it
is duplicating them in the first place. Can you offer any advice?

I've tried deleting a few from normal and leaving them in the tender
template. When I delete them from normal and create a new document based on
the tender template they've disappeared from the tender template aswell, and
I definitely didn't delete them from there.

I copied them from normal to the tender template using organiser then
deleted them from normal.

What's going on?

I'm really confused !

(thanks for help by the way)

And... even stranger is that when I go into Organiser the autotext entries
in the tender document are listed (but not under normal which is fine). So
if I can see them in Organiser for the tender document why aren't they listed
in the All Entries button on the AutoText toolbar? Surely I don't have to
have them stored also in Normal ???

You can also use the organizer, or the AutoText dialog, to delete the
entries from your normal.dot. See also my response to your other post on a
related topic.
