Macros9.dot for Word 2007

[Guest]

For Word 2003 and earlier versions there was Macros9.dot which enable
Autocorrect entries to be saved and then moved and copied ot other computers.
In 2007 it doesn't seem to work fully. By that I mean that it only accepts
the unformatted entries.

So is there a macro for 2007, or some other way of transferring all my 2003
Autocorrect entries to 2007?

Thanks, but it didn't work. (Isn't that the autocorrect option of Macros9.dot
I was talking about?)

Anyhow, what it does is restores the non-formatted autocorrect entries, but
the formatted ones (I have lots in italics) just disappear.

So any other ideas?

It isn't the same macro, AFAIK. Did you try it or simply assume that it was
the same?

When you installed the beta, did you do a new install or an upgrade over the
top? If the latter, Word should have picked up your formatted entries from
your existing normal.dot.

Yes, I tried it and it didn't work any better than the old one, which is why
I asked whether it was identical to the old one.

I was scared of losing lots of these tweaks that I have worked into the
program over the years, so I installed a new installation Office 2007, hoping
to leave 2003 intact just in case. Well it didn't fully help because now even
in 2003 there are things that aren't working properly, although the
autocorrect does.

Thanks for the help, but I'm back to square one. Any other suggestions?

AFAIK, all the Support[n].dot and Macros[n].dot type templates have been
removed from Word 2007 as they were originally designed for Word 6 and
did only support English, and also had bugs.

So does that mean that my autocorrect entries in 2003 can't be moved in any
way to 2007?

To migrate your AutoCorrect entries to Word 2007, use the macro found
AutoCorrect.dot which can be downloaded from:
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/Customization/ExportAutocorrect.htm. Open
the template in Word 2003 and run the Backup procedure which will
create a document of your AutoCorrect entries. Then open
AutoCorrect.dot in Word 2007 and run the Restore procedure.

You should search the group from posts from her on AutoCorrect. She is

It worked! Thanks for all your help.

I realize now what my problem was when Charles Kenyon sent me to the same
macro. I used it then to backup my autocorrect entries from Word 2003 on the
same computer on which I've installed 2007. Apparently, when I installed 2007
it wiped clean the formatted autocorrects.

This time I backed up the autocorrect from a computer which does not have
2007 installed on it. Then when I restored it it worked.

Thanks again.
