Word for OSX -- Transporting Formatted AutoCorrect

[M MacLean]

Hi all. I've seen some talk about transfering AutoCorrect prefs from
Macs to PCs or vice versa, but I'm just trying to transfer from on OS
10.2.4 mac to another of the same configuration. The problem I am
having is that none of the Formatted items are being included in the
transfer. In the case of most of the entries, it's ones that include
TABS in the autocorrect replacement.
I have moved the file named MS Office ACL [English] from one machine
to another and get the unformatted text. I've even replaced the entire
username/Library/Preferences/Microsoft folder and still no luck.

Anyone else experienced this? Anyone have a solution.
I sincerely apologize if this question has already been answered. I
did try to search carefully before posting but hope you will be kind
if I overlooked a previous post.

Thanks,
Marnie

Hi Marnie,

Only unformatted AutoCorrect entries are stored in MS Office ACL [English].
Formatted entries and AutoText entries are stored in the Normal template so
that's what you'll need to transfer to the other setup.

Hope this helps.
