Using autocorrect in Word 2007
I have two questions pertaining to autocorrect:
1. My previous laptop expired, but the hard disc still runs. Is there some way to retrieve my autocorrects from that drive that were for Word 2003 and transfer them to a new computer running Word 2007? 2. I use autocorrect a lot. For Word 2003 I set up a shortcut key that when pressed would open the autocorrect dialog box thereby allowing me to quickly add new autocorrects as needed. I've tried to repeat this in Word 2007 by going to "Word Options/ Customize/ Keyboard shortcuts customize/ commands not on the ribbon/ autotext. That doesn't work. I don't see any way I can automate the opening of the autocorrect dialog box. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Bob |

Bob From what you have written, I think your problem is you used "autotext", when what you want is "auto correct". I could not find a way to do that as a keyboard shortcut. However, you can add the feature you want to your Quick Access Toolbar as an icon to get the auto correct dialog box as follows: Office button|Word Options|Customize|Commands Not in Ribbon|Auto Correct Options (the one with the lightening icon)|Add|(position on QAT where you want it)|OK David |

Using autocorrect in Word 2007
1. (user-defined) Autocorrects are held in two places: formatted ones are
held in your Normal Template and unformatted ones are held in .acl files (one per language) in Documents and Settings\(userid)\Application Data\Microsoft\Office (assuming Windows XP) -- Enjoy, Tony "Robert McN" wrote in message news I have two questions pertaining to autocorrect: 1.

Using autocorrect in Word 2007
Although I preferred using the keyboard only, what you showed me works very
nicely. Thanks very much. It is already saving me time. Bob "djprius" wrote: Robert McN wrote: I have two questions pertaining to autocorrect: snip 2. I use autocorrect a lot.
