Greetings,

I've recently purchased a new notebook and would like to have the same
dictionary and autotext insertion selections as I do in my desktop. I
have several custom autocorrections and ink signatures for insertions
that it would be easier to copy than re-create.

I thought that if I copied my normal.dot file to the new pc that the
settings that I have on the desktop would show up there. But, it doesn't
appear to work.

Both machines are running Office 2003 and Windows XP Pro.

Any suggestions??

Thanks,

On the desktop, do Start-All Programs-Microsoft Office-Microsoft Office
Tools-Save My settings and copy the resultant file to your laptop. then do
the reverse on your laptop!
