What is Auto Text?
Auto Text is a way to store parts of a page for re-use.
An AutoText entry can store anything a page can contain, such as formatted text and pictures.

How to create an Auto Text entry?

Open the Auto Text window

At first, selected the content which you want to save as an Auto Text.
Click Gem "Edit" tab -> "Insert" group -> "Quick Parts" command.

Create an Auto Text

Click the add button "+".
Choose a category or create a new category.
Input name for the new Auto Text.
Click "OK" to create an Auto Text.

Now, you got a category "General" and contains an Auto Text "Tag 1" in it.

And you can preview it when you click on the Auto Text.

How to re-use the Auto Text to another page?

Put the cursor in another page where you want to insert the Auto Text.

Double click on the Auto Text "Tag 1", It will insert the Auto Text to the cursor position.

I am using OneNote 2010. When I try to create a new Quick Parts in Gem, I get a File In Use alert that says the NormalOneNote.dotm is locked by me. No matter which option I choose, when the Auto Text window opens, it is unresponsive. I click on the green + button, but nothing happens. The only way to get rid of the Auto Text window is with Taks Manager.

I'm seeing exactly the same behavior. So still an issue 2 years later

I can't even see the "Auto Text" window popping...
Nothing happend after clicking the "Quick Parts" button, not even a warning alert.
But none of other dialogs shows same problem——"Syntax Highlight" , "Template Manager" were just working fine (But I don't know whether them belonged to GemTools.exe).
I have try updating Gem to V.50.0.0.298 but it still happend.
