My custom AutoCorrect entries have disappeared.
I have entered well over 1000 custom AutoCorrect entries that I heavily
depend on for work. Today, my computer froze and I had to shut it down manually. After restarting it, I realized that every single one of my custom AC entries are gone. Anybody know how I could find them again? I was using Word at the time that the computer froze. |

They are stored in one or more files with an .acl extension and in
normal.dot. What makes you think that they are gone?

My custom AutoCorrect entries have disappeared.
Thank you - I will look through my .acl files to see if I can find them. Can
I import them from there or something? I know they are gone because they are not working, and when I go into the AutoCorrect formatting screen, they are not in the list anywhere. It's like it somehow was restored to default settings, but I can't figure out how. "Charles Kenyon" wrote: They are stored in one or more files with an .acl extension and in normal.dot.

What language is your document in? The .acl files are language-specific.

What I mean is, when you select the document (Ctrl+A) and go to Tools |
Language | Set Language, what language is selected? What specific variety of English? Was that the language that was applied to the text when you created the AutoCorrect entries? -- Suzanne S.

My custom AutoCorrect entries have disappeared.
It says English (U.S.). I assume it's the language that was applied to the
text when I created them since I have never changed that setting since I installed the program 4 years ago. "Suzanne S.

In that case, I have no idea, assuming you're still working in the same user
profile and haven't lost the .acl files you've created. -- Suzanne S.

My custom AutoCorrect entries have disappeared.
I was able to locate several .acl files that, under Properties, are labeled
"AutoCorrect" something-or-other. But I don't know what to do with them, and I cannot open them to read what is in them (coded, don't know what program I can use). I have begun the horribly laborious process of re-entering them. *sigh* "Suzanne S.

I suspect there is some explanation/remedy for this, but I don't know what
it is. You might want to see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...utocorrect.htm for a way to back up your AutoCorrect entries in case this happens again. -- Suzanne S.
