Is the a way to print only he auto correct entries that I created.

Hi, I downloaded autocorrect.zip to create a table of auto correct entries to
print. However, I would like to creat a table consisting of the entries that
I created instead of having to delete the rows with the entries that are in
Word already.

Is there anyway of doing this? I am using Word 2007.

Thank you.

No, there isn't. Once an AutoCorrect entry exists, Word doesn't have any idea of
whether it was one you created or one that came with the program.

I wish there were some way to make the distinction, though, because I'd like
to have the chance occasionally to review the entries I've created and purge
the ones that are no longer needed.

If someone took the time to install Office on a clean system -- maybe a virtual
machine -- and use the AutoCorrect template to dump the default set of entries,
it would be simple to write an additional macro that would subtract those
entries from the complete dump. Another thing for the Round Tuit list. <g>

Well, the base ACL file does still exist, so it would be possible to create
a list of built-in plain text AutoCorrects to compare against. The built-in
formatted ones would be a little more awkward, but there are so few of them,
and they are the same for all languages, that hard coding them wouldn't be
too onerous.

I'd be willing to exempt the built-in formatted ones--just those Wingdings
that sort to the top, right?
