transfer autocorrects in Word 2007 to a new machine with Vista

[Robert McN]

I want to move my autocorrects from one computer to another, both are with
Word 2007, the old computer is an XP the new one is Vista. There is
instructions at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926927 but to find the
destination for the .acl files it describes paths that don't exist on my
computer. The recommended path is: C:\Documents and
Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Office

This path doesn't exist on my computer. I tried to find what seemed like the
corresponding path but it didn't work. By the way, there were three .acl
files on my old machine. I copied them all and tried to past them all.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Thank you for your reply. However, although I set the "Trust Center" to
accept all macros, it didn't work. I think the problem is that it didn't know
where to find the file it was supposed to replace. I'm not sure where that is
either.
