How to transfer AutoCorrect entries from one computer to another?

[Barry]

Hello. I have a lot of autocorrect entries that I use
when I type up documents on my desktop computer. I would
like to be able to use them when I type up the documents
on my laptop computer as well. I thought it would be a
simple matter of transferring over "Normal.dot", which is
the word template I use, from the desktop to the laptop.
However, this doesn't seem to work as I only see the
default normal.dot autocorrect entries. Can anyone tell
me what I need to do?

Thanks,
Barry

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

Thanks, Jonathan:

The utility from the MVP site works great in Word 2000, but it doesn't seem
to work for Word 2003. Can you or anyone else suggest a solution for this?
