I am in medical transcription and while in school was told that Word DID have
a limit to number of entries autocorrect would hold. Does anyone knwo if this
is true?

I am also doing medical transcription and notice that I'm losing autocorrect
entries. It seems as though I lose the older ones when I enter a new one. A
real pain! I wonder if one has to allocate more memory to this feature
somehow. I have no idea how that would be done, though, but would sure like
to find out the answer to this if anyone knows.

The biggest document I had to hand was 111 pages. I saved this as an
autocorrect entry without any difficulty in Word. This I would suggest is
exceptionally large for such a function? In addition to that document, I
then created and added a document containing 184 pages of jpeg images to
autocorrect, and while that imposed some stress on the limited memory
available in my laptop, it worked just fine, so in real world situations, I
can't see there being much of a problem.

Are formatted entries limited by a size limit for the normal.dot

Autocorrect is limited only by memory and hard disc space.
Autocorrect text
entries are limited to 255 characters, but formatted entries can be
much larger and include tables, graphics etc. If you want to create
more intelligent lists in various categories then you should
investigate GhostTyper -
http://www.sc-data.de/ghosttyper/en/index.php3 which takes the
concept a whole lot further and works with all applications, not just
Word.
I use it to place frequently used texts in these newgroup messages.

I recently read in an article pertaining to medical transcription
that the autocorrect file can only be so large (how large??) and
then it starts automatically deleting entries. Is there a size
limit on autocorrect, and if so, is it true it will start deleting
if limit is met?
