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.
I have also tested this. Any AutoTexts I created are stored in my
personal AutoText file and are then available to ANY document, not just
a doc based on the template. If I save the template allegedly containing
the AutoTexts, then delete the AutoText entries from my personal
AutoText file, and then create a new doc based on the template, the
AutoText entries are not there.
Thus I conclude that the AutoText is NOT saved in the template.
I am sure that what you are seeing is the entries in your personal
AutoText file... unless this works differently in Windows, which is of
course always possible.
You could send me (offlist) your test template, that allegedly contains
the AutoText you created, and I'll see if those exist when I install the
template on my machine.

Apparently, you are correct. I also tried importing AutoText after first
saving the template to a DOC file. The AutoText would not import from
that file either.
What would be nice is creating an omnibus AutoText file containing all
the various Tables that could be of future use, assuming that they could
be imported to a dedicated folder (or whatever) in the personal AutoText
file that all document users could import.
Windows can import from XP files (DOC file format) and XP Template files
(probably a DOT file).
