Charles, thank you again sooo much!!!
Yes, I have a "normal" from the Word 2004 and when I double click on it to open Word 2016, I can see my Auto Texts in it. I have then tried using the organizer and it tells me all but about 40 Auto Texts will copy (from left side to right side). that is great considering how many I have…I can easily recreate 40 instead of the hundreds I have.

After completing that, I closed the window. I quit out of Word and then opened it up again…only to find my Auto Texts are not there!!!
Really frustrated that what should work does not seem to be working…or maybe I am missing a step or something.
Thanks again for your assistance!!
