How do I retrieve my Auto Correct entries from a backup drive.

[BobO''''''''B]

I recently had to rebuild my laptop but was fortunate enough to be able to
backup my C: drive entirely before I did so.

I've retrieved Templates, Fonts, Outlook.pst but never thought about Auto
Correct until I kept getting those red "wigglies" under my Australian towns
(and idioms)again!

Can I somehow retrieve the Auto orrect file from my F: drive?

Thanks,

If you do have a complete backup of the drive, look in the folder
F:\Documents and Settings\<your name>\Application Data\Microsoft\Office for
all files with names MSO*.acl. The numbers in the file names correspond to
"language" settings in Office. For English (Australian), the file will be
MSO3081.acl, and for English (US) it will be MSO1033.acl. (For completeness,
the full list is at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb964664.aspx.)
Copy any of the ones you need to the corresponding folder on the rebuilt C:
drive.
