I make Autocorrect entries in Word 2000 and the next day they are gone. I
shut down my computer every night. I also think I am losing things not just
from the day before, but perhaps a month or two old. I am a medical
transcriptionist and use my autocorrect as a word expander. It is getting
really old having to retype the information each day. Any ideas?

From the FAQ:

28. I can't save my customizations - AutoText, menus, etc.
Can't save normal.dot...
If you have Adobe Acrobat 7 installed see the last section of
http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adob...at_toolbar.htm.
Otherwise, hold down the Shift key when selecting the File
menu and select Save All.

Some Autocorrect entries are also saved in normal.dot.
