auto correct in word 2010 - from below post - 1mt


Posted: 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.

I actually now need to get my auto TEXT entries from word 2002 copied to my word 2010. I successfully copied my auto correct already. I have tried to research as to what file they are saved in, but no luck in finding the correct file. Does anyone know how to transfer auto text entries from word 2002 desktop to word 2010 laptop? TIA.

I think that autotext entries are in the normal.dot file. I know for Word 2000 that is where they are. I usually copy those two files to a flash drive. I use the Files search for folders to find it and copy that and .acl to the flash drive. Take a look...if that is not the case then maybe some other poster can help.
