autocorrect

[Gillian]

Hi,

I use the autocorrect feature a lot to enter abbreviations
for frequently typed words. I store these in the normal
template.

When I open a new document, none of my previous enteries
are available to me. I don't know where they go, and how I
enter words into autocorrect that will always stay there.

Yours, in frustration,

Gillian

AutoCorrect entries are stored in .acl files. There is one .acl file for
each language (indeed, each dialect--such as English(U.S.) vs. English
(U.K.)). It's possible that your document has the wrong language assigned
(Tools | Language | Set Language)
