Autocorrect.zip doesn't backup all entries?

[JPh12]

In MS Word 2003, I ran AutoCorrect.dot (from AutoCorrect.zip) to backu
my autocorrect entries. Of my 11000 entries or so I only got about 960
(it stopped at letter T). Is it a known limitation of AutoCorrect.zi
and if so is there an alternative for getting all entries

Are you referring to the template from

Yes, exactly

The article is rather old by now, so I guess there could be some limitations
with the macro ...

What if you try copying the *.acl file(s) manually, then? Does that work for
you?

Yes, I can see the autocorrect entries when I read the .acl file i
Wordpad and I guess I can extract the ones I didn't get with the mvp
template (which got most of them already).
Thanks

Or you could just replace the *.acl files, as discussed in the article (but,
of course, if you are moving entries to a new machine, that would delete any
entries already present there).

I think the purpose of the macro is to backup/restore not only the
unformatted entries in the .acl file(s) but also the formatted ones stored
in the Normal template, but if you've based your new Normal on an old one,
that wouldn't be an issue.
