[Clue Less]

I am migrating from a WinXP running Word 2003 to a Vista running Word 2007;
what is the best way to bring over my very substantial custom dictionary
(for the AutoCorrect feature) from Word 2003 to Word 2007? I surely do not
feel like creating it manually all over again!

Your custom dictionary (Custom.dic) and AutoCorrect entries (*.acl file) are
two different things. For the latter, use the macro from
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...utocorrect.htm to export the
entries from Word 2003.

Then use the AutoCorrect.dotm template (in Autocorrect2007.zip) from
http://jay-freedman.info to load that document into Word 2007
