Created attachment 179218 [details] .bau file with two AutoText fragments, created in 7.3.0.0_alpha 1. I'll attach a bau-file, created in LO 7.3.0.0 alpha something. 2. Adding that .bau to the user configuration of LO 6.4.5.2 or LO 6.2.8.2 makes the AutoText category and the AtoText names visible in the dialog AutoText (Ctrl+F3), but there is no content shown. (config/lo/4/user/autotext/) 3. Adding that .bau to the user configuration of LO 7.0.0.3, gives the expected result. Conclusion: AutoText from LO > 7.3 is incompatible with older versions.
NB: it may be that the incompatibility started with AutoText created in 7.0.x. I did not check that.
I'm not familiar with AutoText, so I couldn't reproduce it without more detailed steps, but i would like to ask, why somebody should create AutoText in LO 7 and use it in LO 6? So where is the use case for the described problem in real life?
Hi Dieter, (In reply to Dieter from comment #2) > I'm not familiar with AutoText, so I couldn't reproduce it without more > detailed steps, - Text document with some content - select - Ctrl+F3 or Tools>AutoText (dialog AutoText) - Chose category to create a category - it will be stored in your user profile under /user/autotext/ - Choose Autotext > New to create an AutoText, select your category and give a name - Close LO - Copy the <myCategory>/bau to the user profile of an older LO version.... > ... but i would like to ask, why somebody should create AutoText > in LO 7 and use it in LO 6?

Unless you have a .bau that you share with someone else who turns out to have that older version :) HTH & thanks for looking at this, Cor
