You need to download the AutoCorrect.zip file and use the utility provided.
Forget about the other methods.

I tried opening C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\1033.MSO.ACL
but
it said there was no program available to open it. I looked around online
a
little but can't find how to open it. Do you know what program I need to
open
it and where I can obtain it?

I also tried adding an AutoCorrect entry and then searching for it but
nothing turned up.

Thanks again for trying to help me!

They do not address Word 2003, only previous versions. But I'm no
computer genius (by a long shot!!) so maybe I just don't know how to
adapt the instructions from Method 1 for my version . . . can anyone
tell me a step-by-step way to do this? Thanks, Greg, for answering!

Am desperately trying to move my AutoCorrects to another computer,
or at minimum, print them out. Found some instructions for earlier
versions of Word, but not Word 2003. Anyone know how? Why is this
not easier?!
