When you created the Autotext entries did you include the paragraph mark?
If the paragraph is included then the entry will maintain the style/format,
if not then the entry will chaneg to the style/format at the point of
insertion.
But if you have saved the paragraph with the entry - hence the style/format
- and in one document the style is Arial but another document it is TNR, the
entry will pick up the difference in Styles. This usually happens if you use
different templates, and/or the entry is saved with the style Normal with
manual formatting applied and this style changes in different documents.

Hope this helps
