AutoCorrect and AutoText are two different things. Look on the MVP site for
a utility that lets you move / share AutoCorrect entries.

Normal.dot may hold your AutoText entries. This is the default place they
are put by Word. In Windows find the file Normal.dot on your computer. Make
a copy of it and name the copy something like AutoTextHolder.dot. If placed

Contacts folder on the new computer. Also, look into putting the .pst file
on a network drive and sharing it.

We have one computer running Office 2000 in which I have entered many
"auto correct" entries for shorthand to use in our reports. I want to move
the Normal.dot file to a new computer also running Office 2000. Please tell
me how to find the file and where to paste it. I have tried a number of
tactics to no avail.
I would also like to move my Outlook contact list to the new
computer....where is the outlook contact list found and where do I paste it?
