Exporting autocorrections in Word 2003?

Hi. For various reasons, I need to reformat my harddrive and re-install XP
from scratch. But before I do I want to preserve my "autocorrect" entires
from Word 2003 (they're mostly all automatic spelling fixes). Is there a way
to export them, and then import them back into word 2003 after I re-install?

Thanks.

(there was an earlier post on this subject but the techniques offered
therein may not have applied to Word 2003)
 
AFAIK, there's only been one report that this doesn't work in Word 2003.
AFAIK, the macro works in all versions.

Thanks, I'll try it. But I'm not terribly familiar with Macros; is there a
way to test if it's worked? HOw would I know if it's picked up all the
autocorrects or not?
 
As I understand it, the macro produces a text file that you can examine.

Indeed it does, and it seemed to work just fine for me in 2003. Thanks for
your help.
