    C:\Documents and Settings\Usersname\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates.

  2. In OOo, select Edit > AutoText (or press Control+F3).

  3. You can create a new category or use one of the standard categories.

To create a new category:

  1. On the AutoText dialog (Figure 3), click the Categories button.
