Hope this is an easy one.

I have changed computers and appear to have lost my autotext entries (I had
lots!)

I copied over the normal.dot file and it brought over my custom toolbar and
all my autotext entries but the autocorrect entries have gone missing. Are
they kept in a seperate file? I thought they were kept in normal.dot like
the autotext.

Thanks

Colin

AutoCorrect and AutoText are different. See
http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm for step-by-step instructions
on moving / sharing / copying / backing-up customizations including
AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, toolbars, macros, etc.
