Oh ok... so then the formatted ones are being erased? Also, I cannot find
my
Normal.dot to do the 2nd one on the link you posted

Ordinary AutoCorrect entries do not include any formatting. They are
stored
in .acl files and are used by Excel and other Office apps in addition to
Word. Formatted AutoCorrect entries are saved in Normal.dot and used
only by
Word because they contain formatting information such as the font and
font
size, bold or italic formatting, etc.

If some of your AutoCorrects are formatted and others aren't, only
the
formatted ones (which are stored in Normal.dot) would not be saved.

I tried the 1st one and the other one I couldnt understand
exactly. As
for
the Hot key, I dont know where to find this

And as I said, it would make no sense how some of my autocorrects
are
there
but others arent?

you
"try"
to
do that?

The thing is though that I had acrobat 7 and word installed at
the
same
time.
Only some of my autocorrects are staying?

How do I uninstall the add-ins? I have checked out the other
reply
from
Suzanne and tried what it says to do, even installed what it
said
to
install
and still it was not working..

No, you shouldn't have to uninstall all of Acrobat 7, just
the
add-in
for
Word.

does that mean I have to uninstall Acrobat 7.0?

And its the autocorrect ones that you create yourself and
add
to
autocorrect to create shortcuts for yourself.. like if I
wanted
to
type dog but I put in the shortcut d,, as a shortcut for
that
word...

I have some of the autocorrects that I created which are
there,
though the rest that I try to create recently are not
there.

I have tried with all 3 macro security settings and this

not
helping either. Any suggestiongs? I was not having this
problem
until I changed to Office 2003

Formatted AutoCorrect entries are stored in the
Normal.dot
template,
and unformatted entries are stored in .ACL files. Can you
determine
whether the problem occurs with one type or the other, or
both?

If it's the formatted ones, that indicates a problem in
saving
Normal.dot. Lately the most common cause of this seems to
be
the
add-in from Adobe Acrobat 7.0, but it could also be that
the
file
is
set to be read-only.

If it's the unformatted ones, you may have a corrupted
..ACL
file.
See

http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...utocorrect.htm
for
information about how to find it and -- once you fix the
problem --
how to back up the entries.
