I am upgrading my hard disk from 40G to 80GB. I need to reinstall all
programs including Office 2003. I believe that the Autocorrect entries which
I have created will be gone. How can I transfer these already-created
Autocorrect entries into my fresh installation of Word 2003 ?

If all you are doing is upgrading the hard disc (and you might give some
consideration to an even larger disc, given the low cost of hard drives)
then the simplest plan would be to use Ghost or Drive Image. Install the
second drive and image one to the other. This would restore your complete
system to the larger drive. You could then swap them over and reformat the
smaller drive.

Hi Graham,
Thanks for your reply.
I am upgrading the HDD of my IBM ThinkPad T30, and apparently 80GB is the
largest size they have for upgrade. I am already using Drive Image 7.0 to do
monthly back up of my HD, but as my system is full of "junk", I want to do a
complete reinstall from scratch. So, back to the question - are my 100's of
Autocorrect entries saved anywhere which I can migrate to my new install of
Word ?
