How to copy Autocorrect English GB to Autocorrect English US?
I believe both UK and US English use the 1033.acl file, so there should be
no issue here. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...utocorrect.htm -- Suzanne S.

How to copy Autocorrect English GB to Autocorrect English US?
UK English uses a 2057.acl - although it may be based on the 1033
originally. -- Enjoy, Tony "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... I believe both UK and US English use the 1033.acl file, so there should be no issue here.

Ah, okay. I knew the lexicon was the same for all versions of English, but
evidently the .acl file is not. -- Suzanne S.

How to copy Autocorrect English GB to Autocorrect English US?
Hi ?B?bXVyaWVtYQ==?=,
I have hundreds of entries in Autocorrect English GB. I would like to copy everything to English US, which is now being used in our office for all templates. Windows XP with Word 2000. You can use the backup tool described in the article Suzanne cites. This will create a Word document with a table containing all the AutoCorrect entries. do this for both the GB and the US installations. Take the GB document to the US machine. Open both documents on that machine. You should be able to copy the table rows from the GB document to the US document. Now run the Restore tool on the US machine, on the combined table document, and it should pick up all the entries you added.

I did wonder about that but now it makes sense. The 1033 version is
installed as base and fallback for all Englishes, and a 2057 (or whatever else) is created from it when needed. I suspect that all you need to do is rename MSO2057.acl as MSO1033.acl (after deleting or renaming MSO1033.acl as something else first). It works for me and I can't see any reason why it shouldn't but I have no supporting evidence. -- Enjoy, Tony "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Ah, okay.
