Thank you so much. That worked a treat.

Is there any reason for the problem to occur? I know of at least tow of my
clients with laptops who have the same thing.

Hi ?B?TWlzaGE=?=,

I have three computers €€œ 2 desktops and a laptop, running Office 2007
Professional. The built-in Auto correct entries appear in Desktop 1, but not
on Desktop 2 and the laptop. All I get on the latter is a list of the symbols
in Word. For instance, on Desktop 1 €˜teh€„¢ will change to €˜the€„¢, but not so on
the other two because the built-in list of words is absent. How can I get
these to appear?
Custom additions are OK.

How about in Excel or Powerpoint, are the entries missing there, as well?

AutoCorrect is stored in *.acl files. It sounds like it wasn't installed, or has gone
missing.

How about repairing the installation of Office 2007 on those machines?

I tried the repair to no avail. The entries appear in PowerPoint but not Excel, and in Access the option is greyed out on ALL three computers.
Is there a way of copying the .acl files from one computer to the others.
Where are they installed? I did a search for*.acl on the computer that has
the entries, but came up with a blank.
Thanks

Your search didn't find them because they're in a hidden folder, and by default
the search doesn't include hidden folders. You should be able to see them by
entering this in the address bar of the file manager:
%appdata%\Microsoft\Office

An alternative is to export the entries from one computer and import them on the
others, using the add-in that you can download from
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...utocorrect.htm.

Oops, I wasn't thinking about this being for Word 2007. The equivalent add-in
for that version is at http://jay-freedman.info (AutoCorrect2007.zip).
