Under Tools, Options, Save Tab, do you have Prompt to Save to Normal.dot
checked? When you make a change such as the default font or the page
margins, do you get the prompt when you close Word? Under Tools, Options,
File Locations, is the User Template setting pointing at the folder with
your normal.dot?

: : Can someone pls tell me where AutoCorrect entries are stored in
Word

: :
: : In "Microsoft Word 2003 for Law firms" it states that:
: : - The registry stores the location of the AutoCorrect file (.acl)
: : - Normal.dot stores the formatted AutoCorrect entries.
: : - The .acl file contains the unformatted AutoCorrect entries.
: :
: : I've added an AutoCorrect entry in Word and the time stamp on
: Normal.dot
: : and
: : the .acl file did not update. If the entry was not stored in one of
: these
: : locations. Where is it??

: : Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.
