AutoComplete Data Saved Location

[pjscott]

We're using Word 2007. I'm giving someone a new computer and she wants to
know if there a way to transfer her autocomplete data to her new computer?

So is there some find of file within Office that stores the autocomplete
data that I can copy to her new computer?

Thanks,

Paul

It would help in your search for information if you call the feature
by the same name that Microsoft uses, AutoCorrect, rather than
autocomplete.

The article
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/ExportAutocorrect.htm
describes where the information is stored. However, the template you
can download from there is only for Word 2003 and earlier. In Word
2007 the extensions used for the filenames of templates changed, which
makes a difference. For a Word 2007 version of the template, use
