Sorry, still don't understand how to restore it to a computer other than the
one I backed up from.

You should get an AutoCorrect.dot file when you open the AutoCorrect.zip.
When you open this file, it contains the following instructions:
To back up your AutoCorrect entries to a Word file
The AutoCorrect macro runs automatically when you open this template; but if
you cancel out of the dialog, you can click on the €śStart€ť button on the
€śAutoCorrect€ť toolbar. If the Toolbar isnt visible, right-click on any
toolbar and select €śAutoCorrect€ť from the list of toolbars.
Select €śBackup€ť. The macro will export all your AutoCorrect entries to a
Word document. It will allow you to choose the filename and save path but
defaults to your default document directory, with a default filename of:
€śAutoCorrect Backup Document€ť.
To import the AutoCorrect entries into Word from the backup document
Select €śRestore€ť. Browse for the Word file that you backed up, and Bob's
your Uncle.

??? Sorry, don't follow. Where is the .dot file? I apologize but as I
said,
I'm a newbie. But I do thank you for trying to help me.

Got it! Thanks, Suzanne!!! I was able to move them to a word doc and
print
them. I'd also like to somehow move them to another computer now but
am
not
sure how to do that part. (Please keep in mind that I'm pretty new to
all
this stuff!)

You need to download the AutoCorrect.zip file and use the utility

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

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?!
