If the AutoText relates to a document created
from a particular template, open a document based on that template.

you like, apply the formatting.
Select the AutoText contents; include the paragraph

in your selection if you want
the AutoText to insert the text with its original formatting (indent,
alignment, line spacing).
From the Insert tab, go to the Text group, click the Explore Quick Parts button
, point to AutoText then Save Selection to AutoText Gallery.
