Autocorrect: move from Word 97 to Office 2003
I have moved a user from Office 97 on Windows NT to Word 2003 on XP Pro.
Article ID 912306 is 'how to move AutoCorrect from €¦Word 97 to €¦Word 2000 or a later version. It suggests transferring the users .acl file, found successfully for Word 97 and named SU.ACL, to the relevant location on the XP PC. It doesnt seem to work fully. After creating a new autocorrect entry on the new PC there seem to be two ..acl files (starting MSO€¦). I renamed both and loaded up the SU.ACL file. Initially it didnt work; I renamed it after one of the two MCO€¦ files but not all entries are there. What is the best way to do this, please? Thanks. |

Autocorrect: move from Word 97 to Office 2003
Use the utility available from the MPV FAQ site. It will pick up formatted
AutoCorrects which are not in the .acl file. See http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm for step-by-step instructions on moving / sharing / copying / backing-up customizations including AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, toolbars, macros, etc. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome!
