The boss recently upgraded our Microsoft Office from 2000 to 2012 when he purchased new systems (finally!) I've been able to get my Autotext entries moved from 2000 to 2010 (by way of many forum searches and a friend's Word 2003) and it works fine for new documents. The problem is that we have over 500 Word 2000 documents on the server that are the "boilerplate" for forms and letters that we have to submit to various agencies on a regular basis and when I open one of these documents, the autotext doesn't work. I can, of course, use Insert/Quickparts/Autotext, but, contrary to its name, it is NOT Quick! (Especially having to scroll through my list of 50 autotext entries.)

How do I get autotext to work with an old document?
