Autotexts
Is it possible to copy autotexts between files in the same way as it is for styles?
(with the “style organizer”)
Can it be easily done programmaticly?
Thanks

The Organizer (Tools | Templates and Add-Ins…, click Organizer…) has four tabs:
– Styles
– AutoText
– Toolbars
– Macro Project Items (this is the caption in Word 2002, I think it was just Macros in older versions)
If you want to copy an AutoText item in code, this is what the macro recorder comes up with:
Application.OrganizerCopy _
Source:= “C:SomeFolderSourceTemplate.dot”, _
Destination:= “C:OtherFolderTargetTemplate.dot”, _
Name:=””, _
Object:=wdOrganizerObjectAutoText
Look up OrganizerCopy in the Word VBA help for more info.
