Good evening,

I am not sure that I have the correct email address for this issue.

I see many people looking to transfer the normal.dot from Windows Microsoft Word, or normal.dotm from Word for Mac.

By accident I found a way to do this and would like to pass this information along. I hope this helps alleviate a lot of frustration with this issue.

To transfer normal.dot or normal.dotm to Libreoffice in Ubuntu-

Put copy of normal.dot in your documents folder in Ubuntu.

Rename to mytexts.bau

Open LibreOffice.

Go to Edit AutoText

Go to My Autotexts

To the right select auto text drop menu and select import.

Search for mytexts.bau and it will start to import.

Voila! Over 500 of our autotext entries transferred beautifully!

Hi :slight_smile:
Transferring templates seems to have a lot of issues!

Thanks for helping with 1 issue that no-one else seems to have noticed so
far! As it happens the problem with this template this time seems to be a
macro issue but hopefully your answer will help other people in the future
now it's in the archives and has reached other people here.

Many thanks and congrats for finding this!
