Copy to new computer - Copy AutoCorrect entries from Word 2003 to Word 2007
(XP to Vista)

But searched discussion groups and found references to templates and macros
can download. But our users can't install unauthorized templates or marcros.

Are there files like the normal.dot that I can just copy from one PC to
another?

Unformatted Autocorrect entries are stored in .ACL files, on XP in
C:\Documents and Settings\[userid]\Application Data\Microsoft\Office, and on
Vista in C:\Users\[userid]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Office. Copy them all.

Formatted Autocorrects are held in Normal.dot (Word 2003) or Normal.dotm
(Word 2007). It sounds like you may already have these.
