It sounds as if you are trying to use Method 2, which is really not
recommended. You should instead use Method 1 to create the export document. If you are transferring entries from Word 2003 or earlier to Word 2007, then use the AutoCorrect.dotm template (in Autocorrect2007.zip) from http://jay-freedman.info to load that document into Word 2007. -- Suzanne S.

You download the .zip file linked from the article and unzip it. I believe
it contains instructions. -- Suzanne S.

how can i transfer auto correct entries from one pc to another
There were three different files, the first only worked if you had word 2007
- the other two were about making something with two columns, I didn't understand, Jay Freeman, thing, says please don't email him - I know I sound stupid, but I can't understand what I am supposed to do - I need someone to walk me through it, I will gladly pay for someone's services to help - do you know someone who will do this or could you or Jay or someone - give me the instructions from A to Z about getting my auto-tools from word 2002 to word 2003 - and why sometimes I get a message about not being able to open macros - I don't even know what I did to get that message, nevertheless - there it is - can yhou please direct me to someone who will take 1/2 hour just to get me through this?

First you need to go to Tools | Options | Security. Click the Macro Security
button and change the security setting to Medium. This will give you the option of enabling the macros when you open the template. Assuming you have downloaded the ZIP file and unzipped it, you should have the AutoCorrect.dot file. Open that, choosing to Enable Macros. The template contains instructions. Choosing Backup will save your AutoCorrect entries to a Word document that you can save to the desired location. You will need to copy this document and the AutoCorrect.dot template to your new computer. On your new computer, open AutoCorrect.dot (again, you'll need to set security to Medium and enable the macros in the template) and choose Restore. You'll have to select the file you created in Word 2002 and copied to your Word 2003 computer. Everything else will be automatic. If you don't have Word 2007, you don't need Jay's macro. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "carolnat" wrote in message ...

how can i transfer auto correct entries from one pc to another
I did it, by myself - three hours with computer nerd cousin - he couldn't
figure it out - the instructions were not clear = including the messasge about cannot open macros - but I got tired of no one helping and just stuck it through and it's done, also my medical spellchecker on the old computer - my cousin could not find it to transfer it over and I no longer had the original disks - so the new computer was saying all my medical words were misspelled and I figured that out too, my only problem is I now have a 19" flat minitor instead of the regular kind with my old dimension - I have worked with the 32 bit/16 bit, have tried raising and lowering resolution - and all the text on my computer whether it be the cards on solitaire in aol or anything actually - is too light without enough contrast - I don't know what else to try - if you have any ideas, that would be great - anyway thanks for your help - but honestly, all you did was you kept repeating the same thing - unzip, follow the instructions and I kept saying obviously I wasn't getting it - you weren't the only one - but no one seemed to be willing to go further with me - so something that probably would have taken 15 minutes of someone's time (less than answering all my emails) could have had this done 2 days ago, and I actually could have worked and earned some income during that time - "Suzanne S.

how can i transfer auto correct entries from one pc to another
Well, now I'm sorry that I took the time to download the file myself and
spend the time required to figure out how to use it in order to provide you with the detailed instructions you requested. You do realize that no one here is paid to help you? We are all volunteers answering questions on our own time. Given your attitude of entitlement, it's quite possible that no one will want to help with your resolution problem, either, especially since it has nothing to do with Word. -- Suzanne S.

how can i transfer auto correct entries from one pc to another
Entitled? I hardly think so and I realize no one was getting paid, which was
why several times, I offered to pay for someone to help me- I don't know why you sent me the same email 3 or 4 different times to unzip the file and follow the instructions - if you hadn't bothered in all that time to see where I might possibly be having the problem - It's not your fault, but I have spent 2 months with Dell, where first they built the laptop I ordered completely wrong, apologized and refunded the money, but they would not apply the money they had of mine toward the desktop so I had to wait until that money was refunded and then wait for the desktop - they said that I had purchased 30 days of 24/7 support from Dell particularly with my transferring issues since I knew how to put the computer together - then they said I had not purchased that help and if I had any hardware problems to let them know, then for two days, I tried to do as much as I could figure out and then started asking for help from people I knew here, then I searched and searched the Microsoft site, but could not find the answer until I found the message board - I would think you tell from my emails how scared and upset and frustrated I was, I'm 63 years old, live on disability and the little I can make doing medical transcription, I obviously didn't understand the instructions because I was trying very hard to figure it out. I didn't earn any money in three days because I couldn't work until all this was fixed - so, entitled, hardley, practically begging and offering several times to compensate you or anyone else who would help me - but it wasn't until after I realized I should either recreate 1500 autocorrects or keep trying to figure it out on my own since you were not willing to give me any more help other than continuing to repeat that the instructions were in the zip file - which I obviously didn't understand. I do volunteer work to, I read for the blind on the radio at the Sight Center - here "volunteering" means we're trying to help someone - "Suzanne S.

I never sent you email. I post only in these public newsgroups. And (as you
acknowledge) no one here is responsible for your problems with Dell. I'm sorry you are frustrated, but these newsgroups are not always the way to get the fastest solution to a problem, but I did post complete instructions (which you don't appear to have read--or at least have not replied to). As it happens, I am also 63 years old. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "carolnat" wrote in message ... Entitled?
