Saving auto text entries during reformatting
I'm having a partition installed on my work computer and I suspect my auto
correct entries will be lost. I have Windows XP, SP3, Word 2007. I have a backup removable disk on which I'm storing my personal files until after the reformatting. I've searched for previous answers to this, but they seemed to be for earlier versions of Word. Can anyone help? |

Can anyone help? For AutoCorrect entries, the answer is the same as for previous versions: formatted entries are in the Normal template (in this case, Normal.dotm), and plain-text entries are in .ACL files in C:\Documents and Settings\your name\Application Data\Microsoft\Office. (The reason for this division is that plain-text entries can be used in all Office programs, while formatted ones are specific to Word.) In Word 2007, AutoText entries are part of the Building Blocks feature. Depending on what you entered in the dialog when you saved them, they might be in C:\Documents and Settings\your name\Application Data\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks\1033 (or another numbered subfolder, depending on language), in Normal.dotm, or in another template. -- 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. |

Thank you! That's the clearest explanation I've found.
