AutoText/Correct
I need to add an autotext or autocorrect to many machines without replaced
their current list or backing up what they have and adding just the one new entry. any ideas? This is for Word 2003. Thanks. |

AutoText/Correct
Autotext would be the simpler option. Save it in a blank template and
provide the template as an add-in to the users. Autotexts in add-ins take precedence over those in the normal template of the same name. For autocorrect, you would need to provide a macro solution for the users to add the entry to their systems. Formatted autocorrect entries are stored in the users' normal templates and unformatted entries are stored in ACL files under the users' profiles. You will find a template that will allow you to backup your autocorrect entries to a document at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...utocorrect.htm Run the backup option on your PC to create a table document containing all your autocorrect entries - including the one(s) you want to provide. Then open that document and remove all the rows in the table except the header row and the row(s) containing the entries you wish to provide. You can then provide the users with the template and the document and they can use the template to add the entry to their systems - it will work for both formatted and unformatted entries. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Sue" wrote in message ...
