It will show up in the list for all active templates when a document
attached to your template is open since that is then one of the active
templates. When a document not attached to your template is open, it should
not show up. This assumes that your template is an attached document
template and not a global template.
You simply have to be careful when you create the AutoText to put it in your
template rather than in normal.dot. To do this you need to use the AutoText
dialog rather than simply a keyboard shortcut. Once you change the lookin
setting on this dialog it remains changed for your Word session (or at least
as long as the template is "open").
For more on the different kinds of templates, tabs on the file new dialog,

Charles,
Thank you for the response, however, I could not find the answere to my
question on these sites. I really need to know if it is even possible in
Word 2003 to add Autotext to a Document Template I create and not have it
show up in the list for all active templates. I am thinking that the all
active template list keeps all the autotext add-ins and from there they
can
be or are applied to the template you want. This would mean that the list
in
all active templates could get quite large. Especially when you include
form
letters, addresses, common phrases & words, etc. So I would like to add
autotext that will be only specific to the template "I" create and not
have
any of it in all active templates. (I do know that none of what I added
so
far shows up in the normal.dot template, so that is good).

I am trying to creat autotext that will only be used and stored in a new
template I create. I can and have added new auto text to a new
template,
however, it always appears in the global template as well. How can I
get
Word 2003 to only accept autotext for only the new template I create
and
not
in the all active templates list??? Is this possible? If not the
autotext
stored in
my active template list will become cluttered with mounds of autotext
that
will never be used in any other documents. I have been able to add
autotext
to the new template without it going into the normal template, however,
everything I add also appears in the all active templates list. If I
delete
it from the all active templates list, it also removes it from the new
template I added.
