How can I import a docx in AutoText?

Import *.autoxt file (docx convert to .autotxt), Studio 2015 (options)

Error: "The list of entries does not contain AutoText...".

How can I import a list of words in word into autotext? 

Thanks.

  • Hello Anastasia,

    You have to put them into a file that is the format accepted for import... it's not MSWord.  The easiest way to do this is to add a couple of entries in Studio, under the AutoText menu like this:

    So I added two words in the English(US) autotext.  Then export the file to your desktop.  What you get is a simple text file that looks like this:

    Note that there is an empty line first, and then  the language code and then just a list of terms.  So once you have this (for your language obviously) you can copy paste your MSWord list into this file and then import this one.

    Regards
