How do you move auto corrects to a new computer?

[Guest]

I have a ton of auto corrects that Ihave been building for a few years. I am
getting a new computer and want to move my auto corrects to the new computer.
I think if I move the normal.dot it will work but I'm not sure. ANy help is
appreciated.

Thanks.

You've probably got lots of other things to transfer as well if you're moving
to a new computer. If you're moving to Windows XP, then using the File and
Settings Transfer Wizard (it'll be on the screen that comes up when you
insert your Windows XP CD, on one of the secondary menus, I forget which it
is now).

Using that wizard, you'll be able to transfer a whole range of files and
settings from your old computer (Windows 98 and later) onto Windows XP. This
will include your copy of Normal.Dot incidentally.

The one thing it won't transfer is your programs of course (you'll need to
install the software, then use the Wizard) and your passwords (you'll need to
re-enter them).
