auto correct

[jkays]

I use Word 2003 at the office and Mac Word 2004 at home. I would like
to transfer my Word 2003 autocorrect entries to my Mac version. there
are over 2100 custom entries that would be very useful if I could use
them on my home computer. Can someone please provide some guidance on
how to do this? Thanks in advance for your help. John

Grab the PC version of the Macro that backs up AutoCorrect entries from the
Microsoft website. You can customise it to work on a Mac...

See if you can get hold of the Word 2000 version of the Macro: that should
run unchanged in Word 2004. (But note: The Word 2000 version has a bug: it
won't handle multi-paragraph entries: I believe that was fixed in Word
2003's version: if not, fire me the code and I will fix it for you.)

Cheers
