In Word 2002, what files contain my autocorrect and user dictionary
entries? I want to add them to the files in my backup set.

AutoCorrect entries (except formatted ones, which are stored in Normal.dot)
are saved in .acl files (one for each language). Your custom dictionary file
is Custom.dic unless you've added others. For more, see these articles:

How can I import and export all my AutoCorrect entries, so they can be
transferred to another machine?
