I ran a search for '*.acl' & the 3 'mso.acl' files were the only ones found.
I resolved the issue using KB269006.
Thanks for you assistance.

It isn't so much a missing step as a misunderstanding of where to look. The
files you found are the ones the Office installer creates as defaults (as
should be obvious from the files' dates), but they aren't directly used by
the programs. Instead, as you add AutoCorrect entries, the programs create
working files in the hidden folder %appdata%\Microsoft\Office with names
such as MSO1033.acl. Those are the ones that you need to copy from one
computer to another -- or use the export/import method that I mentioned
before.

I found 3 'mso.acl' files in the following 3 folders:
c:\program files\microsoft office\office10\1033\, \1036\ & \3082\
I copied each ACL file from the old computer to the new computer into
their respective folders but nothing changed. I exited Word &
Outlook prior to doing so but no change.
Is there a step I am missing that I should have done?
Thanks....

Hello,
I'm using Word 2002 & just copied & pasted my normal.dot to another
computer with Word 2002 but my custom Autocorrect entries do not
appear. Are the custom entries not saved in the normal.dot? Is
there a way to transfer this without manually typing them back in?
Thank you.
Only AutoCorrect entries that were stored as formatted entries are in
Normal.dot. The others are stored in one or more .acl files, one for
each language.
See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...utocorrect.htm
for a download you can use to export the entries from one computer
and import them on another computer.
