The macro that you used to save the entries should be run on the PC to
restore them from the DOC file - see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customizat...utocorrect.htm
Also copy the normal.dot file to your new PC. Autocorrect entries are stored
according to whether they are formatted or not.

I am having a time with my autocorrect. I use it in my word program
for work as a transcriptionist and I save all my macros or as I call
then extensions in autocorrect. My computer died and I have a new
one without like 6,000 plus extensions that I use everyday. I had
the autocorrect document backed up on my desktop but in the wrong
format to transfer to the new machine. I used the autocorrect backup
document information supplied to me by Microsoft to transfer
information from the source machine to the destination machine. this
did not work, as the document is in rich text format and not in .acl
format. I was using a documanage system for another company and they
made the autocorrect backup document in RTF to fit their platform
thus messing up my .acl document by making it a RTF. Do you have any
suggestions on how I can get the entries in autocorrect off the
desktop machine to my laptop? This is how I make all my money and I
need those 6,000 plus entries on the laptop to work.
