23915 2001-11-08 04:04:00 I have installed Word 2000, but retained Word95, which still functions. I wish to make the AutoCorrect entries in Word95 usable on Word2000. No doubt there is a simple answer, but I'm damned if I can find it. Any help appreciated. Guest (0)
23916 2001-11-08 20:15:00 Simple answer is this: don't bother.

Long answer: I think I did it from 97 to 2000, no idea how. They each seem to store it in a different way. One stored it in a list you could easily edit and copy.

Search Microsoft site for entries on autocorrect list and see what comes up. You may need to take it to 97 first.

Damn stupid how hard that sort of thing is made, must be a feature rather than a bug.

Unless you have a huge list, it may not be worth the effort.

Regards, Robo.

23917 2001-11-09 00:51:00 I think you are out of luck - Word 95 is too unsophisticated to have the ability to export settings. Word 2000 has a Support.dot template which can be used to transfer autotext settings to another computer, while Office XP has a 'Save Your Settings' wizard which saves all settings, including your autocorrect entries, for use on another installation. But none of this is any help to you - sorry. Guest (0)
