If these AutoCorrect entries are in a .doc file, they are irrelevant. If
they have not been loaded into your .acl file, they won't be used. See

It's on my desktop. I think I somehow put it there when I transferred to
this computer in 2004 (I have it labeled "AutoCorrect backup.doc"). It
brings up a Word document that has a table listing the Name (which is the
same as "Replace" in Tools--AutoCorrect), Value ("With" in
Tools--AutoCorrect), and RTF (I don't know what this is, but every
listing
has it as False). Any ideas on how to get my entries working again?

I'm using Word 2000 and have entered a HUGE amount of my own
autocorrect
entries, and I rely on them heavily to do my work. When I got started
working today, my 10 years' worth of autocorrect entries are all of a
sudden
not being used for some reason, and I can't figure out why. When I
pull
up
the autocorrect file itself, they are listed there, but when I go to
Tools
-- AutoCorrect, they are not listed. Some of my most recent entries
(within
the last month or so) work, but not the ones that I added years ago and
use
most often. ANY help would be appreciated because this is so important
to
my
work. THANKS!
