Take a look at Greg Maxey's page on Building Blocks & AutoText. He includes an Add-In that lets you load building blocks including AutoText from a Table. You can choose one gallery at a time and load in different categories with individual names. The entry is in one column, the name in a second, and the category in a third column of the table.
Thanks for the wealth of information, Charles. I looked at Mr. Maxey's add-in, and it's really robust. Probably more than I need for everyday, but I do like that import feature. The reason I wanted to do AutoText is that I really like the autocomplete option from there. Plus, I sometimes work at another desk, and since I sometimes copy my Normal.dot template back and forth, that helps that AutoText can reside there.

Been getting the chance to play with stuff that will hopefully make my life easier around here.
