Default Restoring AutoTexts in MS Word for Mac

I have used MS Word for 20-something years and have a huge Auto Texts list. Tuesday my computer had a "problem" and my solution was to turn the power off. When I came into office to work yesterday morning, I found that MS Word (2016) did not have my customized Auto Texts list. I have tried a restore from my TimeLine; and also opening MS Word from a an old NORMAL file (saved on a flashdrive) from my laptop (using MS Word 2004)…multiple times. I open MS Word with the NORMAL, I can see my Auto Texts. I have also tried, after opening MS Word with the old NORMAL file and using the building blocks transfer the Auto Texts into the NORMAL.DOTM file. It says it is doing it (all except about 40, which it says it cannot do)…but when Then I QUIT out of Word (saving the practice document) and open MS Word via icon on the dock again (or by opening a saved file) I still do not see I see my Auto Texts!!!

Please help!!!
