I was not aware that AutoText entries become part of a template. In
fact, I am sure that they do not. I would be delighted to be proven
wrong, as it would save a lot of hassle.
Same for Table AutoFormats, among other things.

I thought that I had incorporated those AutoText entries for such
tables
already a few months ago--probably in January or February--in one or
more of my own versions of the OOo chapter template. I might have
posted
them on the ODF website, or maybe I did not...
Are you sure the AutoText entries becomes part of the template? As I
said above, I don't think they do. But I don't have time to test this.
--Jean
I tried testing it on one of my older templates but could not find
them right now--probably because I stopped working on OOo templates a
while back. Next, I will visit the ODF site and see if that one has them.

So the tip AutoText wasn't already in your personal AutoText entries
file before you used the template this time? I hope I can find time to
test this myself, because I really do hope what you say works the way
you say. We'll need to mention this in the UGs. I really was not aware
that AutoText could be stored in a template.
--Jean
I made a simple AutoText for the Tip table by selecting the tip table
and simply making an AutoText entry for it. Took about a minute.
Then, I saved the OTT template and opened the template, creating a copy
of it. I inserted two tip tables via the AutoText Insert command on the
ODT copy from the template. All told, it took less than five minutes to
check the old template on the ODF website for its nonexistent AutoText
entries, insert a Tip-table AutoText entry on a new template, and test
it on a template copy file.
I find it (an AutoText table entry) to be usable on a template copy.
Perhaps, somebody else can confirm/verify what I seem to already know.
