Didn't work for me this as well
Is there any way to change existing contents of Normal.dotm? formatted autocorrect appears in blue color when i use autocorrect shortcut keys which i want in black color. I followed the same alt+f11 process, but still appears in blue color.
I was using word 2003 and installed word 2013, all autocorrect worked but some appears in blue color when using and since i installed 2013, formatted autocorrect did save only till i open word 2013. when i use same tomorrow, formatted autocorrect did not work which i save yesterday, but all works which were made in word 2003
