delete auto correc
Hi,
(I hope this hasn´t been asked too recently or too often. If so, pls point me in the right direction.) I would like to delete all auto correct and auto text entries in one go. I´ve tried to follow a tip from http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customizat...utocorrect.htm which says: "If you have trouble finding the folder in which the acl file is stored, add an AutoCorrect entry in Word, and then search your hard disk for *.acl files modified in the last day". But I do not succeed to find any recently changed acl file. I´m using Word 2003. TIA Örjan |

If you're running Windows XP, the folder where the *.acl file is stored is
likely hidden. You must explicitly choose to search hidden and system folders in order to find it. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne,
There were awfully many acl-files to be deleted to prevent the system from reconstituting the list, but now it´s done. Thanks. BR, Örjan On Mon, 25 Feb 2008 08:40:05 -0600, "Suzanne S.

There's one for each language. You need delete only the one for the language
you're using (1033 is English, for example). -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Oerjan" wrote in message ...
