Custom autocorrect entries in Excel and PowerPoint

[mam]

I'm using Office XP on a multiuser computer. I have a lot of custom
autocorrect entries in Word. Is there any way to get Excel and PowerPoint to
recognize them, or do I have to enter them manually into each program? It
appears that these programs are using a different dictionary than the one
Word uses (custom.dic).

Thanks

All of the Office applications share the same AutoCorrect files
(*.acl), not Custom.dic which is the Custom Dictionary file, so if you
add an entry in one application it will be available in all of them.
The one exception is in Word and rich text AutoCorrect entries. Those
are stored in Normal.dot and not available in the other applications.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.
