How can I transfer all my Word autocorrect settings to a laptop?
I have a large number of autocorrect entries in Word which I want to transfer
from my main pc to my laptop so that I can work away from my desk. How can I do this? (Word 2002/Windows Office XP) |

(Word 2002/Windows Office XP) AutoText entries are saved in templates. While creating an AutoText, if you don't specify a template, they are saved in Normal.dot. You copy your Normal.dot from PC to laptop and either overwrite the existing version, or use the Organizer (from Tools | Templates and Add-ins) to copy only those things over which you really need.
