Changing a rich text document into an .acl document to import/expo
I am having a time with my autocorrect. I use it in my word program for work
as a transcriptionist and I save all my macros or as I call then extensions in autocorrect. My computer died and I have a new one without like 6,000 plus extensions that I use everyday. I had the autocorrect document backed up on my desktop but in the wrong format to transfer to the new machine. I used the autocorrect backup document information supplied to me by Microsoft to transfer information from the source machine to the destination machine. this did not work, as the document is in rich text format and not in .acl format. I was using a documanage system for another company and they made the autocorrect backup document in RTF to fit their platform thus messing up my .acl document by making it a RTF. Do you have any suggestions on how I can get the entries in autocorrect off the desktop machine to my laptop? This is how I make all my money and I need those 6,000 plus entries on the laptop to work. |

I think we're a bit confused here. How were the "extensions" created in the
first place? And, do they just appear as lines of text in the backup document? "AttractiveMT" wrote: I am having a time with my autocorrect.

Changing a rich text document into an .acl document to import/
The extensions were created by me. I take a word and use only the
constanants, hence extensions. here is an explanation I got when trying to use the Autocorrect support doc to transfer from the source computer to the destination. The extensions appear as lines of text in a table of sorts like an excel-type document. Public Sub ConvertAutoCorrect4MPW() Dim anEntry As AutoCorrectEntry Dim OmitIt As Boolean 'Get a fresh document for the entries Application.Documents.Add For Each anEntry In Application.AutoCorrect.Entries OmitIt = False If InStr(1, anEntry.Name, " ") Then OmitIt = True If InStr(1, anEntry.Name, ";") Then OmitIt = True If InStr(1, anEntry.Name, ")") Then OmitIt = True If InStr(1, anEntry.Name, ":") Then OmitIt = True If InStr(1, anEntry.Name, "...") Then OmitIt = True If InStr(1, anEntry.Name, "") Then OmitIt = True If InStr(1, anEntry.Name, "") Then OmitIt = True If Len(anEntry.Value) 63 Then OmitIt = True 'Fashion each in the format MPW4 needs. If Not OmitIt Then Selection.TypeText (anEntry.Name & vbTab & "A" & anEntry.Value) Selection.TypeParagraph End If Next anEntry DoEvents 'Save the file in TEXT ONLY format On Error Resume Next Kill "C:\ACorrMPW.tlx": DoEvents ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="C:\AutoCorrect2MPW.tlx", _ FileFormat:=wdFormatText, AddToRecentFiles:=True ActiveDocument.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges End Sub "zkid" wrote: I think we're a bit confused here.

The macro that you used to save the entries should be run on the PC to
restore them from the DOC file - see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customizat...utocorrect.htm Also copy the normal.dot file to your new PC. Autocorrect entries are stored according to whether they are formatted or not. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org AttractiveMT wrote: I am having a time with my autocorrect.

If you can't run the macros, as Graham suggested, is your old computer
completely dead, or can you copy off your old normal template? If you can copy the old normal template, then you can place it on your new computer and have access to all of the old entries.
