I have a central folder with the same structure as the "user" folder, 
actually it is a copy of an older version which I use to keep all the 
entries I want to preserve. I then add in Tools > Options > LibreOffice 
> Paths the path to this central folder for the categories "AutoText". 
Only one of the both paths can have write access, but you can switch the 
writing right when needed.

I do the same with the category "Templates".

That works even across LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice and across 
different versions. That way I have the folder under "user" newly for 
each of the lot of versions I test, and a permanent folder for my real work.

When you manage your AutoText entries (Ctrl+F3), then you will see two 
entries "My Auto Text" and maybe other duplicates. But when you hover 
the entry, it will show you a yellow tooltip with the path it has. So 
you can distinguish them.

Kind regards
Regina
