I am upgrading users from Office 2000 to Office 2003 Pro. Does the
installer migrate Word AutoCorrect entries?
Hi Rick,
Yes, it does. More exactly, it does nothing to remove or change the existing
entries. If there are existing .acl files and/or a normal.dot template from
Office 2000, the installer won't overwrite them. (This is part of the reason
many problems can't be solved by reinstalling part or all of Office -- the
most frequently damaged files aren't reinstalled.)
But if you don't completely trust this process (why would I think that?
<g>), you can export the entries to a document from Word 2000, do the
upgrade, and then import the entries in Word 2003. A template with the
necessary macro is at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/ExportAutocorrect.htm. However, this
export/import would have to be done separately on each PC.
