Dear Suzanne:
Thank you for your help, which has saved me lots of grief. I had no idea
why I couldn't transfer my macros, autocorrects, autoformats, etc. to the new
computer. Of course, I coulnd't do it last time with normal.dot either, and
had to remake them, but that was four years ago and I forgot. It's a
headscratcher to me what normal.dot is for.
May I ask you another question? This is the first time I'm using XP (Media
Center edition). I have not attempted to modify it at all (I have no idea if
it's even possible), but there is one quirk I cannot understand.
In some cases, both folders and shortcuts I've created are un-deletable. I
get the message "Cannot delete shortcut [or folder]: Access is denied. Make
sure the disk is not full or write-protecteed and that the file is not
currently in use."
Do you have any idea what that's about? Should I post this question
elsewhere?
Thank you again.

AutoCorrect entries, except formatted ones, are not stored in Normal.dot.
