I'm sorry to hear that it doesn't work in the current version. Unfortunately
the developer who wrote the macro is no longer available, but perhaps someone else can update it. -- Suzanne S.

I'd be afraid to tell you because I am really not familiar with how this
works, but the Backup and Restore macros provided should take care of this. -- Suzanne S.

I d/loaded the marcro9.dot template to W2003 and hit the restore button for
the AC Bkup doc and when it finished, it briefly showed the last entries of the 13k total entries and a window said the restoration was successful but when I went to Tools, Autocorrect in Word, the W2000 entries were not there. Sorry to take up yr time but any other pos suggestions where they might be hidden bcse there is no doubt in my mind tht they were restored somewhere. Mny tks. Roger "Suzanne S.

Funny. Ive had this problem for years but never twigged to what it was. It
seemed as tho I had two versions of Word, with minds of their own. Each time I opened one, it would not contain AC entries I knew shd be there. So I wd reenter them all. All this time I was inadvertently opening Word in US and Aussie English and each had their own AC file. Puzzle solved. Mny tks. Roger "Suzanne S.

I d/loaded the marcro9.dot template to W2003 and hit the restore button for the AC Bkup doc and when it finished, it briefly showed the last entries of the 13k total entries and a window said the restoration was successful but when I went to Tools, Autocorrect in Word, the W2000 entries were not there. Sorry to take up yr time but any other pos suggestions where they might be hidden bcse there is no doubt in my mind tht they were restored somewhere. Mny tks. Roger "Suzanne S.
