Funny. Ive had this problem for years but never twigged to what it was. It
seemed as tho I had two versions of Word, with minds of their own. Each time
I opened one, it would not contain AC entries I knew shd be there. So I wd
reenter them all. All this time I was inadvertently opening Word in US and
Aussie English and each had their own AC file. Puzzle solved. Mny tks.

Well, we've been hashing out this whole language dependence issue (wrt
AutoCorrect entries) recently in word.customization.menustoolbars, and it
turns out almost no one is as familiar with the ramifications of it as we
thought!

Eureka!! Just as I was about to hurl myself over a cliff, found the
problem.
Everything was there as you noted, Charles but all my AC entries were
hidden
bcse I forgot to change the English from US to Australian. There they all
were. Mny tks to you and Suzanne for your patience and assistance.

I just tried the AutoCorrect.dot from the MVP site in Word 2003 on
Windows
XP Pro and it worked fine for me. I got 37 pages of mostly default
entries.
Ran it both to back up and then restored from a previous version.

Have you searched the HD for .acl files? I'm really unfamiliar with
the
way
this macro works, so perhaps someone who has used it can be more
helpful.

I d/loaded the marcro9.dot template to W2003 and hit the restore
button
for
the AC Bkup doc and when it finished, it briefly showed the last
entries
of
the 13k total entries and a window said the restoration was
successful
but
when I went to Tools, Autocorrect in Word, the W2000 entries were
not
there.
Sorry to take up yr time but any other pos suggestions where they
might
be
hidden bcse there is no doubt in my mind tht they were restored
somewhere.
Mny tks.

I'm sorry to hear that it doesn't work in the current version.
Unfortunately
the developer who wrote the macro is no longer available, but
perhaps
someone else can update it.

Susan. Mny tks. Disregard my earlier. I d/loaded the utility to
W2003
and
cdnt enable the macro. Worked correctly on W2000. Apols for
confusion.
Gratefully. Roger
