Am trying to move Office 2000 formatted autocorrect items to Office 2007.
From what I have read, the formatted ones should come over from your old
Normal.dot and the unformatted ones come from the .acl file. I was able to
just copy the .acl file from my Office 2000 folder to the new machine that
has Office 2007. But my formatted ones that supposedly were stored in my
Normal.dot did not come over when I replaced the Normal.dotm with my Office
Normal.dot and had Word 2007 generate a new Normal.dotm from the old
normal.dot.

Is there a way?

Rename your old normal.dot from Word 2000 to, say, Mycustomizations.dot and
place it in the Startup folder of your Word 2007 installation.

Sorry, I didn't read this carefully enough; I thought the original message
was referring to AutoText. :-(

See the following article:
