    Auto-Correct File Location

    I am running Word 2007 and want to transfer my Auto-Correct entries from one machine to another. Where is the Auto-Correct file located please?

    Found it.

    For anyone else who is looking, there is a MS KB article at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926927 which approximately names the right directory. (Depends on which version of Windows you have, I guess.)

    Your best bet is to go to C:\Users\your user name and do a search for *.acl. No need to copy them all. Look at the contents using Notepad and you will soon find the one with your own personal autocorrections double-byted. That's the one you transfer.
