Autocorrect Transfers

If you have Microsoft Word on two computers, you can transfer your AutoCorrect list from one to the other with Autocorrect.dot, a Word macro by Microsoft Most Valuable Professional contributor Dave Rado and distributed via the MVP Web site. If macros have been disabled, select Tools, Macro, Security in Word. On the Security Level tab, select Medium, then click OK. If Word warns you that the file contains macros, click Enable Macros. Run Autocorrect.dot on the first PC and click Backup to export your settings to a Word document. Now run Autocorrect.dot on the second PC and select Restore to import your AutoCorrect list. You'll lose only settings with the same name as the imported AutoCorrect items.
