Retreiving AutoCorrect entries

[Guest]

Having just upgraded from Word 2003 to Word 2007, I find all my personal
AutoCorrect entries missing. How can I get them back?

Thanks for the link. The explanation given seems to apply where the
autocorrect entries are to be copied from one machine to another. I'm afraid
I can't quite work out how it applies to my situation (upgrade on the same
machine). Do you have any further suggestions, please?

the following Technet article might help you more:

Many thanks for the link. At a quick glance it seems to address exactly my
situation. I'll give it a try over the weekend. Hope you'll be around if I
get stuck!

Hi Robert

I don't think the Technet article really helps. It's focus is on how to
move an autocorrect list in Word 2007 from one computer to another.

My situation is migrating the autocorrect entries on the same computer from
Word 2003 to Word 2007.

Do you have any other suggestions?

In that case, the article originally cited should work for you, or at least
you should be able to figure it out by combining the information in the two
articles. It's basically a simple backup-and-restore process.

Thanks, Suzanne. I'm probably chasing a lost cause, as I've already done the
upgrade and so my original Word 2003 autocorrect list is probably no more.
Thanks anyway for the reply.

If you upgraded in place (over Word 2003), the AutoCorrect list should have
been preserved. If you upgraded side-by-side, then the original *.acl file
should still exist.
