AutoCorrect in Office 2007
I have three computers €“ 2 desktops and a laptop, running Office 2007
Professional. The built-in Auto correct entries appear in Desktop 1, but not on Desktop 2 and the laptop. All I get on the latter is a list of the symbols in Word. For instance, on Desktop 1 €˜teh will change to €˜the, but not so on the other two because the built-in list of words is absent. How can I get these to appear? Custom additions are OK. Thank you. |

Hi ?B?TWlzaGE=?=,

It sounds like it wasn't installed, or has gone missing. How about repairing the installation of Office 2007 on those machines?

Thank you so much. That worked a treat. Is there any reason for the problem to occur? I know of at least tow of my clients with laptops who have the same thing.

AutoCorrect in Office 2007
Is there any reason for the problem to occur?
Not that I know of. The default AutoCorrect lists aren't among the choices that you can include or exclude in the Office installer, so I assume they're part of the core installation. The installer should create files named MSO.ACL in various numbered folders under the Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12 folder -- the numbers are language IDs -- and those should be copied to the %appdata%\Microsoft\Office folder when you run the Office programs. (I'm not sure whether that happens on first use or when you make the first nondefault plain-text entry.) If the MSO.ACL files don't appear in the Office12 folders, try repairing the installation as Cindy suggested. -- 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.

AutoCorrect in Office 2007
I'm having a similar problem, Jay. Re-installed Office 2007 on a new laptop,
and all the additional Auto Corrects I added on the old machine are missing. I see the *.acl files on the new laptop - they're distributed among about 15 locations. They exist on my old hard drive in about the same number of locations. I tried using the Add-In macro you posted for Office 2007, but my system wouldn't read the macro, even when I lowered my security to accept all macros. If I can just copy the files containing .acl files from my old to my new hard drive ... where, specifically, should I place them? Thanks in advance!

AutoCorrect in Office 2007
Each file from the old computer should be copied to the corresponding
folder on the new computer. There should be two sets of files. - The installation files are all named "MSO.ACL", and they're stored in numbered folders under C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12 -- the numbers are language identifiers, such as 1033 for English (US). How many of them you have depends on what base language of Office you installed and whether you added more languages to it. Since this set of files never changes, there's no need to copy them to the new computer. - The "working set" of files to which you can add entries have the numbers embedded in the file name, such as "MSO1033.ACL". Those are stored in your profile. If the old computer is using Windows XP or earlier, and the new one is using Vista or Windows 7, that complicates things a bit because the location of the profile changed. The XP location of the ACL files is C:\Documents and Settings\your name\Application Data\Microsoft\Office The corresponding location for Vista and Windows 7 is C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Office On Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:47:23 -0800, Deb RW wrote: I'm having a similar problem, Jay.

AutoCorrect in Office 2007
Each file from the old computer should be copied to the corresponding
folder on the new computer. There should be two sets of files. - The installation files are all named "MSO.ACL", and they're stored in numbered folders under C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12 -- the numbers are language identifiers, such as 1033 for English (US). How many of them you have depends on what base language of Office you installed and whether you added more languages to it. Since this set of files never changes, there's no need to copy them to the new computer. - The "working set" of files to which you can add entries have the numbers embedded in the file name, such as "MSO1033.ACL". Those are stored in your profile. If the old computer is using Windows XP or earlier, and the new one is using Vista or Windows 7, that complicates things a bit because the location of the profile changed. The XP location of the ACL files is C:\Documents and Settings\your name\Application Data\Microsoft\Office The corresponding location for Vista and Windows 7 is C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Office On Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:47:23 -0800, Deb RW wrote: I'm having a similar problem, Jay.
