Oops, I hadn't seen Beth's comment when I responded to Jay's.

It looks like Beth was correct: my new documents were opening up with a
different proofing language than my old ones. When I changed the
proofing language, Autocorrect entries started working.

So: how do I make a permanent change to the proofing language? It
doesn't seem to save my changes when I change it...

Open the Normal.dot template by using File Open and navigating to
the Templates folder (for directions, see
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErr...cNotBlank.htm). Select
the single empty paragraph mark and apply the right language to it.
Save and close the template.
