What is the file name where auto correct entries are stored?

[Glo]

I have thousands of entries in auto correct and I would like to be able to
save the file so that I have a backup in case I need to restore the file, or
if I need to use it on another computer. In the past versions of Word I have
just copied the .acl file, but I can't seem to locate the file in 2007.
Thanks for any help you can give. Happy holidays!
