Hi Rado,

This refers to your article titled "How can I import and export all my
AutoCorrect entries, so they can be transferred to another machine?"
that is at:
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/ExportAutocorrect.htm

On the page, you have also given a zip file AutoCorrect.zip that has
macros for backing up the entire list of AutoCorrect entries from Word
to a doc file and also for restoring the backed up AutoCorrect entries
from a doc file overwriting Word's AutoCorrect list.

- I ran that micro and it duly created a doc file on my harddisk.

- I copied the autocorrect table from that doc file to an Excel file.

- I deleted several autocorrect entries from that list in Excel so that
finally I was left with mostly those entries that had come as default
with Word.

- I copied and saved that final list to a doc file.

- I ran the micro again, this time to restore the entries from the doc
file to Word.

And it throws errors:

--start quote
Microsoft Visual Basic
Run-time error "5491":
AutoCorrect cannot replace text which contains a space character.
Please remove the space, or replace it with something else.
--end quote

Well, I have not added any space on my own, I have not even added entry
at all. These entries were very much there is the Word and were working
ever since.

I checked the file from which I was restoring and there indeed are
entries like

againstt he,    against the,    False
andt he    and the    False
can't of been    can’t have been    False
could of been    could have been    False
could of had    could have had    False
your a    you’re a    False
your an    you’re an    False
your her    you’re her    False
your here    you’re here    False
your his    you’re his    False
your my    you’re my    False
your the    you’re the    False
your their    you’re their    False
you're your    you’re your    False
you're own    your own    False

I checked and found that all these entries are very much present in
AutoCoreect in Word and if I type and such phrase wrongly, word is duly
correcting them as above.

I'm on XPSP2 (though Automatic updates is off), Word 2002
(10.2627.2625), Excel 2002 (10.2614.2625), Visual Basic 6.3.9108.

What is the problem? How to insert space into my doc file so that vb
recognizes it correct and updates to Word's Autocorrect?

----------
While we are it at it, some related questions if you entertain:

- Is there any method of resetting Word AutoCorrect list to Default? I
mean so that it removes all the enteries I have added in AutoCorrect,
and keep only those enteries which were shipped by Microsoft?

- If a command won't do the above, can I download the original
Microsoft list of AutoCorrect enteries from somewhere and update into
Word using your Macro? Where from?

If this is not the proper newsgroup for asking this question, please
guide me to where to post this.

Thanks.
