Where can I find the "tools" button in Word 2007?
I upgraded to a new PC running Windows 7 with Office 2007. I am used to the
usage tools in Word 2000. Where can I locate the "Tools" button and the other options that are in Word 2000? I really need to get this figured out because I have to transfer my MT auto-correct files from my backup. Thank you for any help! |

Where can I find the "tools" button in Word 2007?
There is no Tools button in 2007. The items that were on the Tools menu have
been moved to other locations. To find the AutoCorrect Options button, click the Office button (the big round thing in the upper left corner), click Word Options in the bottom edge of the menu, and click the Proofing tab of the options dialog. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. swanees wrote: I upgraded to a new PC running Windows 7 with Office 2007.

To transfer his AutoCorrect files, doesn't he simply have to copy some
specific file that contains them to some specific folder in the new installation? (As opposed to retyping them all.) On Mar 9, 5:10*pm, "Jay Freedman" wrote: There is no Tools button in 2007.

Where can I find the "tools" button in Word 2007?
There are at least two files involved. Quoting
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926927, "Unformatted AutoCorrect entries in 2007 Microsoft Office programs are stored in an AutoCorrect list (.acl) file. The .acl file for the 2007 Office programs is located in the profile for the user... Formatted AutoCorrect entries in Word 2007 are stored in the default template file for the user." The article explains how to transfer entries by copying files, and this is the best you can do if all you have is a backup from the old computer. There's another method if the old computer and Word 2000 are still running. The AutoCorrect.dot template at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...utocorrect.htm can be used in Word 2000 to make a document containing all the AutoCorrect entries in that version. After copying that document to the new computer, you can use the AutoCorrect2007.dotm template at http://jay-freedman.info/AutoCorrect2007.zip to load the entries into Word 2007. -- Jay On Tue, 9 Mar 2010 20:11:04 -0800 (PST), "Peter T.
