How to import an abbreviations list into MS Word's AutoCorrect - Fasty


Posted: Jun 25, 2014

HELP!  I have searched high and low looking for the instructions on how to take an abbreviations list and import it into MS Word's AutoCorrect.  There is hardly no info online about this.  I guess it can be done, but it takes some doing.

Could someone be kind enough to delineate all the steps in doing this, or at least point out a website that explains how to do this?  I can put the abbrev file into any form - excel, CSV, you name it.  It's just importing it into AutoCorrect that's a witch with a B :)

THANKS

Fasty.

Word Autocorrect
May 24, 2013

I have been blessed with being able to work for smaller companies for the last 9 years.I just started with a new company and the platform doesn't support Word so I can't use my autocorrect, which I have been building shortcuts in all this time. We have tried pcshorthand/speedtype and are having issues with the expansion. I so miss typing in Word. Is not supporting Word the trend of the future? Should I just accept it, or look for something that I can still use Word in? ...

Instant Text And Word Autocorrect??
Jul 13, 2011

I was just offered a job and the company uses Instant Text as their expander. I have over 1900 entries in Word's autocorrect in the MSO1033.acl file. This has probably been asked and answered a thousand times over, but can't seem to locate the results: Can I take my Word autocorrect and import the entries into Instant Text without have to copy and paste them in individually? I know many of the MTs do use Instant Text. If you can, could you tell me how difficult it is, if it is? Thanks ...

The question I have now is when I open Instant Text on the bottom right I see glossaries, the first glossary is for the transcription department of the company I will be working for. Then the second position shows my MSO1033.acl. When I highlight that, all my entries are there. But when I close the program and then open again, the MSO file is not there, and I have ...
