macros and auto texts/corrects
I am switching to a new computer at a medical office. I have multiple macros
that I use with transcription, as well as auto-corrects and auto-texts, that are stored in my computer. How to I transfer these to the new computer, to avoid having to retype them all over again? At the very least, I would like to print a list of the auto-texts to retype. Is there a file somewhere that I can copy to the new machine? Technical info: Word version 2000, on a Windows 2000 network. TIA for your help! -- Leslie |

Macros and AutoText entries are stored in templates, by default in Normal.dot. Formatted AutoCorrect entries are also stored in Normal.dot, while unformatted ones are stored in .ACL files. See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/FilesToBackup.htm for instructions. Back up the files on the old computer, then copy them (via network, diskettes, CD/DVD, or USB stick) to the same folders on the new computer. To copy all the AutoText entries into a document that you can then print, download the AutoTextDumper.zip file from http://jay-freedman.info, unzip the template it contains into your Templates folder, open it, and click the button on the floating toolbar to run the macro. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
