Transferring Auto-Correct if You Just Have the User.acl File

[Guest]

Dave Bado’s article,
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/ExportAutocorrect.htm, seems very
useful – unless you’ve already done the deed, so to speak. I backed up my
..acl file as a pure .acl file on my old Word 97/Win 95 installation before I
upgraded to a new machine and Word 2003. I hadn’t read Dave’s article yet, so
I did not create the backup document from Dave’s template before I wrapped up
life on my old machine. Short of reviving my moribund Win95 unit and running
through Dave’s backup process – or installing Word 97 with Word 2003
concurrently long enough to try Dave's process on my new machine – is there a
way to bridge the generations and transfer the ACL using simply my Word 97
user.acl file?

Perhaps, Jim, there's some kind soul who would do this FOR you. Supposing
they ran FOUR versions of Office on their PC (97 to 2003), they'd likely be
able to handle the transfer for you, right? Just remind me of Dave's
link when/if you decide to send the acl.
