Rename your old normal to normal2004 or something like that. First open Word, without doing anything with that file. Then open it or create a new document based on it. Try the Organizer again.

This time, before you close Word open the normal template for editing. You can do this in the vba editor by typing the following in the immediate window:
Application.NormalTemplate.OpenAsDocument

Then type the letter A or something else and delete it. Do not use UnDo. Save and close the normal template and close Word. Reopen, then you should find your AutoText.

The reason I gave you this complex procedure is I suspect something is preventing saving changes to your normal template in the normal course of using Word. That is a topic for another day.
