You say AutoCorrect, but the procedure you are describing is for AutoText
entries. Which is it?

How can I migrate my AutoCorrect entries from Word 2003 to Word 2007?

Below
are the steps I used in Word 2003 when I wanted to migrate these entries

from
one computer to another in Word 2003, but have no idea how to migrate in

Word
2007:

1.Open a new file and name it as AutoText.dot (or whatever) being sure to
save it as a template, not a doc file. Copy and paste these directions

into
it so you'll remember what to do to import it later
2.Tools, Templates, and Add-Ins, Organizer button, AutoText tab.
3.In the first box, AutoText should already be there because the file is
open. If you wanted a different file, click Close File, Open File, Browse

to
the desired file.
4.Display Normal.dot in the second box€”it should already be there.
5.In the second box, click the first entry to move, hold down Shift, click
last entry to select all; click Copy, Close File, Yes, Close.
6.Save AutoText.dot (or whatever), save again onto a disk or whatever,
close, and move to second computer.
7.In the new computer, Tools, Templates, and Add-Ins, Organizer button,
AutoText tab.
8.Display AutoText.dot in the first box€” click Close File, Open File,

Browse
to the new template AutoText.dot (or whatever).
9.Normal.dot should already be in the second box.
10.In the first box, click the first entry to move, hold down Shift, click
last entry to select all; click Copy. Click Close File, Yes, Close.


All help greatly appreciated.
