Hi, as usual I need help :-( My wife, who is my secretary since I
virtually retired has lost her 'autotext' . We can find the 'bog
standard autotext' but the one that has all my special words and
layouts etc has ceased to work. When you go up to the top lines and
press 'Autotext' it brings up the one that comes with the programme
but not the customized one. Can anyone that has the faintest idea what
I am talking about help? :-0

Hi Mac,
Sometimes Word does not recognise the dictionary if the "Language" of
the document is not what you originally set it to. I set up Word with
my language as English AUS. All the stuff added to my user dictionary
is available only when the Language is English AUS. If I open a
document with the language set as something different (English US for
example) my user dictionary is not available.
The way round this is to change the "Language" in the document. Select
all the text in the document (Command + A). Then go to the Tools >
Language > English AUS menu item. If you change the language to your
original one then the user dictionary should now be available.
Regards,
John Taylor
