I am trying to use a text component in several letters.
I have the following code. It does not give any errors and it does not display anything in the letter.
{INSERT_TEXT_COMP("Enterprise\in testing","Handout Header")}
Handout Header currently just contains "This is a test"
Any ideas?

Perhaps there is a typo in your path. Verify that you are referencing the right path and use proper case in the event that the pathnames are case sensitive. I've attached the help file for this function which includes examples on usage.

Based on your command:
{INSERT_TEXT_COMP(“Enterprise\in testing”,”Handout Header”)}
I would rename the directory to maybe "in_testing"
Perhaps not the issue, but after years of dealing with so many operating systems, space characters can sometimes be problematic. I still try to avoid still in directory naming.
Although, now as I type my response, and sometimes this is a copy/paste issue, but when I pasted above the quote-open character is a bit different from the other three double-quotes. Thus, you may want to type your command in again.

You would need to run a MEL trace to see if it was executing. It may not. The help says that it is for quick text so it might not execute in a letter.

Looks like it evaluates it as ULL.
Except from MEL trace:
