Import-export settings among PCs

[Guest]

Hello!

A few days before I asked how could I copy all of my settings of Word to
another PC. Dear Dame Suzanne attached a link I could find methods, but no
one of them worked. I tried to find *.acl files in every hidden folder, but
there is no one on my computer. (Here is the link mentioned above:
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/FilesToBackup.htm )

The importance of *.acl files is that the autocorrect entries are stored in
them. I'll have a new computer tomorrow, and I hope I won't have to all of my
250 autocorrect entries one by one.

The "Save my settings wizard" don't export the AutoCorrect entries.

Thanks for any help!

Did you look at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/ExportAutocorrect.htm? Note that
..acl files are in a hidden folder; you won't see it (or find them) unless
you have hidden and system folders displayed.

Ok, I solved the mystary! It's not enough to set the folders option of "My
Computer" (enable viewing hidden folders), at the Finding application you
must set it again at the special settings (find in hidden folders too).

BUT! Now I have too much .acl files (3), and all of them are in the Office
folder. I'll copy all of them to my new computer into the same place, and
hope it gonna work. (I tried to separate them by the "last modified time",
but unfortunetly the last one has the least size, and it's strange for me,
because I've thought the last modified one would have the bigger size.)

Thanks for your help and patience, Suzanne!
