customized autocorrect entries in both languages?
i have word2007 in windows xp pro. my problem is that i work in two languages
- english uk and swedish - (as a translator) and my customized autocorrect entries are no longer available in both. they were before, but disappeared a couple of years ago whenever swedish was selected. is there some smart way of recovering them? many thanks! stephen |

If you want an AutoCorrect entry to be available no matter which language is
applied to the insertion point, make sure that the entry is *formatted* (it will then be stored in the Normal template). To create a formatted AutoCorrect entry, type the text (or other contents) that you want added, select it (them) and then display the AutoCorrect dialog box. Type a name for the entry, click Add, and then close the dialog. If/when you are prompted to save the Normal template, choose to do so. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "stephencroall" u58939@uwe wrote in message news:a5750e449ab94@uwe... i have word2007 in windows xp pro. my problem is that i work in two languages - english uk and swedish - (as a translator) and my customized autocorrect entries are no longer available in both. they were before, but disappeared a couple of years ago whenever swedish was selected. is there some smart way of recovering them? many thanks! stephen |

thanks, stefan, but is there any way of globally formatting the two thousand
or so customized entries i have in plain text retroactively in one fell swoop, do you suppose? don't think i have the time to fish them out one by one. :-( the procedure you describe below is the one i've always used but by default it arrives in the dialogue box as plain text, not formatted. i'm almost never prompted to save the normal template. rgds/stephen Stefan Blom wrote: If you want an AutoCorrect entry to be available no matter which language is applied to the insertion point, make sure that the entry is *formatted* (it will then be stored in the Normal template).

Perhaps you could use a macro to "convert" the AutoCorrect entries; you will
have to ask in a programming newsgroup about that (try microsoft.public.word.vba.general for example). Note that when you create entries based on the current selection, you should verify that the appropriate option ("Formatted text" or "Plain text") is selected in the dialog box. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "stephencroall via OfficeKB.com" u58939@uwe wrote in message news:a580fce21c491@uwe... thanks, stefan, but is there any way of globally formatting the two thousand or so customized entries i have in plain text retroactively in one fell swoop, do you suppose? don't think i have the time to fish them out one by one. :-( the procedure you describe below is the one i've always used but by default it arrives in the dialogue box as plain text, not formatted. i'm almost never prompted to save the normal template. rgds/stephen Stefan Blom wrote: If you want an AutoCorrect entry to be available no matter which language is applied to the insertion point, make sure that the entry is *formatted* (it will then be stored in the Normal template).
