Thank you!
One misunderstanding: the note PC on which I installed LO4.2 has been 
running Win7 from the start.
I followed your advice and checked the paths and noticed that the PATH 
to the autotext includes at the end the folder "autotext",
BUT, in fact, there was no such folder under that directory! (is this 
not supposed to be created automatically during installation?)
So, I manually created that folder and now things seem to working as 
they are supposed to be.

This is the kind of "twist in events" that ordinary mortal people do not 
think of so often ...
Thanks again.
Thomas
