Default How do I make Word options available to another user?


I have created a lot of Autocorrect options in Word, eg "gro" is
automatically set to be expanded to "growth". On my home computer I have
several user accounts. But these Word options only work for one user account.
Can I make them available to otehr users (without havng to retype them all
agaon for each user)?

Unformatted AutoCorrect entries are stored in .acl files. You can export the
entries from one account and import them into another. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...utocorrect.htm for Word 2003
and earlier. For Word 2007, get the AutoCorrect.dotm template (in
Autocorrect2007.zip) from http://jay-freedman.info.
