autotext

[Mike Nash]

Hi Guys


Hope this doesn't seem too dumb a question but I'm not a big Excel user.
Got a client here who has created a zillion autotext fields. She'd now like
another user/PC to have access to these same autotext updates. Now,... in
Word - all I'd do is grab the normal.dot file of her PC and plonk it on the
new PC. Does the same theory hold true for Excel...? If so, what is the name
of the magic file that needs copying...?

Thanks in advance
Mike

Mike, take a look at Knowledge Base Article 135778:

Thanks DDM (funny name - grin)
That did the trick. Copied the users acl file to network share folder.
Tweaked both PC registry settings to point to that shared file and presto -
It actually worked! Cool...
Much appreciated
Mike
