How to migrate AutoCorrect entries from Word 2003 to Word 2007
How can I migrate my AutoCorrect entries from Word 2003 to Word 2007? Below
are the steps I used in Word 2003 when I wanted to migrate these entries from one computer to another in Word 2003, but have no idea how to migrate in Word 2007: 1.Open a new file and name it as AutoText.dot (or whatever) being sure to save it as a template, not a doc file. Copy and paste these directions into it so you'll remember what to do to import it later 2.Tools, Templates, and Add-Ins, Organizer button, AutoText tab. 3.In the first box, AutoText should already be there because the file is open. If you wanted a different file, click Close File, Open File, Browse to the desired file. 4.Display Normal.dot in the second box€”it should already be there. 5.In the second box, click the first entry to move, hold down Shift, click last entry to select all; click Copy, Close File, Yes, Close. 6.Save AutoText.dot (or whatever), save again onto a disk or whatever, close, and move to second computer. 7.In the new computer, Tools, Templates, and Add-Ins, Organizer button, AutoText tab. 8.Display AutoText.dot in the first box€” click Close File, Open File, Browse to the new template AutoText.dot (or whatever). 9.Normal.dot should already be in the second box. 10.In the first box, click the first entry to move, hold down Shift, click last entry to select all; click Copy. Click Close File, Yes, Close. All help greatly appreciated. Arlene |

It's AutoCorrect in Word 2003 where you replace text as your type.

How to migrate AutoCorrect entries from Word 2003 to Word 2007
AutoText in Word 2007 is part of the Building Blocks/Quick Parts (or
something--I'm not running Word 2007). I think the Organizer is still available, but you'll have to wait for an answer from someone who is up to speed on Word 2007. -- Suzanne S.

How to migrate AutoCorrect entries from Word 2003 to Word 2007
I think I figured it out. Follow the steps in my first post in Word 2003 to
create AutoText.dot. Then in Word 2007, to have a template or add-in available whenever you start Word, save the add-in or template in the Startup folder. On my system the path is C:\Documents and Settings\Arlene Zimmerly\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP\AutoText.dot Microsoft has a related article at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...5371033.aspx#1 with these steps at the end.

How to migrate AutoCorrect entries from Word 2003 to Word 2007
Actually, the better location is your Building Blocks folder instead of your
Startup folder. That location is: C:\Documents and Settings\Name\Application Data\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks Where Name is your user name. Also, the Application Data folder is usually a hidden folder so make sure you turn on the display of hidden files/folders. If you want to move the entries to Building Blocks.dotx, in the Building Blocks Organizer, edit the entries and change the "Save in" to Building Blocks.dotx. Note you don't have to move them but you can also use the organizer to move them to another gallery. Otherwise to use them you'll either need to type part of the AutoText name and press F3 to insert it or add the AutoText command to your QAT to access the AutoText gallery ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP Word FAQ: http://mvps.org/word TechTrax eZine: http://mousetrax.com/techtrax/ MVP FAQ site: http://mvps.org/ "Arlene" wrote in message ...
