Flash drive to say auto-correct - jw


Posted: Jun 09, 2011

A flash drive sounds like a great way to save auto-correct, but I can't find anything in word to tell me how to copy/backup auto-correct??? TIA

Go to Microsoft's website for instructions. - Flash Gordon.

There are lots of ways to save AutoCorrect. - SM

It depends on your version of Word. The easiest way is to search your hard drive for *.acl files by the last modified date and save that file to your flash drive. You can paste it back to the same folder path if it goes haywire or you lose your entries because there is a limit to AutoCorrect.

If you search this board for AutoCorrect, you find other ways and the macros that depend on your Word version.

Lost My Shorthand 10 Flash Drive!
Jul 28, 2012

Does anyone have a .spf file that they could "loan me" until I either find my flash drive or I build my own up (could take years like my original one did!)?  I had a backup but that hard drive crashed, and boy was I grateful for the flash drive backup, but what with one thing and another, I didn't back it up on my new computer and of course now I'm kicking myself.  Or if there is a resource online that I could use, that would be great. I'm looking for a more generic com ...
