word 2010 auto text - helpme


Posted: May 28, 2011

I had entered MANY auto text entries a couple months ago and now they are all gone.  Is there a way to search for them or recover them?  This is a laptap that is new to me, as is word 2010, but I did manage to figure out how to enter all these auto texts, and now they're just gone.  I know that they did save initially because I used them, but now haven't been on the laptop for quite some time and they are all gone.  Any ideas what happened?

I don't know the number of entries you had saved, but - ExpanderBeliever

Word auto text file is notorious for crashing and losing saved entries when the file gets large enough. It isn't just the number of entries you have saved, but the size of the entries. A big contributer to its instability is if templates are saved.

I'm sorry I can't offer any help in recovery of what you lost; just wanted to chime in about the instability of the feature you are using. If you were to rebuild your entries in auto text, it could happen again.

Feb 12, 2011

I copied and pasted my auto correct from Word 2002 from my desktop onto my laptop Word 2010.  I can see the file there but when I open auto correct, only some, very few, of the entries are there.  I have three auto correct files on my desktop and tried copying/pasting all of them into my laptop, but still only some of the entries are on my laptop.  What am I doing wrong or is there something I have to do on my laptop to activate all .acl files?  Thanks. ...

Thanks to those who replied about the Inscribe foot pedal rewind..  That works well now.

Need To Convert Word 2013 To Word 2010
May 20, 2014

The MTSO that has hired me needs me to have Office 2010 Professional, whereas I have Office 2013 Professional.  They said the only reason 2013 won't work is because of the Word version.  I remember sometime back that there was a way to set your Word version to a previous version with the push of a button.  I've searched the internet for clues, but all I see are instructions for converting 2007 to 2003.  Nothing about converting 2013 to 2010.  If I can't ge ...
