Default Different auto correct lists in Word 2007.

Hi, I'm a freelance taker of minutes at a large number of different business
meetings. To speed up my typing, I use auto correct feature in Word 2007 (as
part of Office 2007). I would like to store the names of the participants and
other meeting-specific abbreviations in different auto correct lists, i.e.
one per client for whom I take minutes.
Also, I would like to know if there is a way to batch-manage my own entries
so that I don't have to scroll down the complete list (like editing a table
with two columns: one for the abbreviation and one for the name in full,
formatted or unformatted). Would it be possible to handle this with a macro?
Regards,
Jan

AutoCorrect entries are language-specific; I don't think there is another
way to categorize them. What you could do is make use of Building Blocks,
for which there are several different categories/galleries (AutoText is
one). Note, however, that Building Blocks can no longer be used with
AutoComplete. Instead, you will have to type the name (at least the first
four characters) of a Building Block and then press F3 to insert it.
