Hi, Howard,

Put a copy of autocorrect.dot into the Templates folder of each computer.
(The macro will run just fine in both versions of Word.)

On the desktop system, open autocorrect.dot and click the Backup button. It
will create a document containing the AutoCorrect data, and prompt you to
save it as "AutoCorrect Backup Document.doc". You can keep this name or
change it -- perhaps to add the date.  When the macro finishes, and again
displays the box with Backup, Restore, and Cancel buttons, you can click
Cancel and close the document.

Copy the "AutoCorrect Backup Document.doc" file to the laptop, using
whatever means you like -- floppy disk, CD-R, LAN, email, etc. [Note: If you
use removable media (floppy, CD), *do not* try to save directly from Word to
the floppy, or to open from the floppy directly into Word. Copy the file
from/to the hard drive. Word has problems with removable media that can
cause data corruption.]

On the laptop, open autocorrect.dot and click the Restore button. The macro
displays the Open dialog. Select the copy of "AutoCorrect Backup
Document.doc" and click the Open button. When the macro finishes, and again
displays the box with Backup, Restore, and Cancel buttons, you can click
Cancel and close the document.

When you exit Word, you may be asked whether to save changes to Normal.dot.
Say yes.
