Autocorrect file

[Jon]

With Word 97, I've found that I can put the Autocorrect file (.ACL) on
another PC with Word 97, and I get all my autocorrect entries. With Word
2002, this sort of works, but as well as including all of the autocorrect
entries that I set up in Word 97 (for which I deleted many of the default
ones such as changing teh to the), I find that all of the default ones
re-appear. I don't have this problem when I copy it to a PC with Word 97,
which doesn't add back the default ones.Is there a way to do this with Word
2002? Deleting the defaults takes a long time, so I'd prefer not to fix the
problem in this way.

Thanks Suzanne. Dave Rado's macro fixed my problem. Note that you have to
delete the .ACL file first otherwise you end up with all the default
autocorrect entries, which was the problem I had in the first place.
