delete auto correc

[Oerjan]

Hi,

(I hope this hasn´t been asked too recently or too often. If so, pls
point me in the right direction.)

I would like to delete all auto correct and auto text entries in one
go.

I´ve tried to follow a tip from
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/ExportAutocorrect.htm
which says:
"If you have trouble finding the folder in which the acl file is
stored, add an AutoCorrect entry in Word, and then search your hard
disk for *.acl files modified in the last day".

But I do not succeed to find any recently changed acl file.

I´m using Word 2003.

TIA
Örjan

If you're running Windows XP, the folder where the *.acl file is stored is
likely hidden. You must explicitly choose to search hidden and system
folders in order to find it.

Hi Suzanne,

There were awfully many acl-files to be deleted to prevent the system
from reconstituting the list, but now it´s done.

Thanks.

BR,

There's one for each language. You need delete only the one for the language
you're using (1033 is English, for example).
