In Auto Correct Exceptions under the "Don't Correct" tab, I want to add
"therefor". I would like to share this with everyone on my network. Is
there a way to roll this out on a network or do I need to visit each machine?

I'd say you'd need to do this on each machine. AutoCorrect is saved to either a
user-specific *.acl file or, if the text is formatted, to the Normal.dot. In
either case, this isn't something that's easily shared between machines or
profiles.

In *theory*, you could use the Backup/Restore tool (there's an article on
word.mvps.org on this) to make a backup of the entries, add your entry, then
restore. But in practice I think that will take rather longer than just making
the entry...
