Is it possible to save AutoCorrect lists to a file in Office 2007?

[Karen Rose]

I've got a list of AutoCorrect entries in my work account and wonder if I can
save to a file so that I can use the same entries in my home
account/computer. I use Office 2007 in both.

Thanks,

Yes, get AutoCorrect2007.zip from http://jay-freedman.info. Unzip its
content (AutoCorrect.dotm) into your Templates folder, create a new document
based on it in Word 2007, and follow the instructions.

Copy the resulting document and the AutoCorrect.dotm template to the other
computer and use the restore function there to synchronize the AutoCorrect
items.

Jay .... THANK YOU so very much !! I create the document at home just to try
it out (even though the real file I want is at work). Tomorrow I'll create
it from my work account and then bring that home. You have saved me so much
time ... I'll also check out some other items on your website.

Thanks again!!

Hi Jay. I have downloaded and used your autocorrect.dotm. it great. My
problem here in my classroom is that when students insert a signature
(scanned jpg) and do the old autocorrect trick to associate "sig' with an
auto insertion it does not get saved in Normal.dotm. I have opened
normal.dotm and tried it and it still doesn't work. In 2003 there was no
problem. Open any old doc and insert an bob's yer uncle.
Any suggestions !
Bob
