The words are embedded at the Normal.dot template.
From a blank Word document, go to the
Tools menu--> Templates and Addins-> Organizer (lower left corner).... Click on the Auto Text TAB at the top ...go on from there. Hope this is what you are looking for.
Hello,
when I use the AutoText Feature in Word, I would like to know where the words are actually physically stored on disk. In what file?
Regards,
Mirza
