Am desperately trying to move my AutoCorrects to another computer, or at
minimum, print them out. Found some instructions for earlier versions of Word, but not Word 2003. Anyone know how? Why is this not easier?! |

They do not address Word 2003, only previous versions. But I'm no computer
genius (by a long shot!!) so maybe I just don't know how to adapt the instructions from Method 1 for my version . . . can anyone tell me a step-by-step way to do this? Thanks, Greg, for answering!

I tried opening C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\1033.MSO.ACL but
it said there was no program available to open it. I looked around online a little but can't find how to open it. Do you know what program I need to open it and where I can obtain it? I also tried adding an AutoCorrect entry and then searching for it but nothing turned up. Thanks again for trying to help me!

You need to download the AutoCorrect.zip file and use the utility provided.

Got it! Thanks, Suzanne!!! I was able to move them to a word doc and print
them. I'd also like to somehow move them to another computer now but am not sure how to do that part. (Please keep in mind that I'm pretty new to all this stuff!) "Suzanne S.

You should get an AutoCorrect.dot file when you open the AutoCorrect.zip.
When you open this file, it contains the following instructions: To back up your AutoCorrect entries to a Word file The AutoCorrect macro runs automatically when you open this template; but if you cancel out of the dialog, you can click on the €śStart€ť button on the €śAutoCorrect€ť toolbar. If the Toolbar isnt visible, right-click on any toolbar and select €śAutoCorrect€ť from the list of toolbars. Select €śBackup€ť. The macro will export all your AutoCorrect entries to a Word document. It will allow you to choose the filename and save path but defaults to your default document directory, with a default filename of: €śAutoCorrect Backup Document€ť. To import the AutoCorrect entries into Word from the backup document Select €śRestore€ť. Browse for the Word file that you backed up, and Bob's your Uncle. -- Suzanne S.

Copy both files to a floppy disk or other portable media and then paste
them on the desktop of the new computer. Open the .dot file on the new computer and restore from the .doc file. |
