I had saved a lot of autocorrect entries to my Word 2000. A week back I had to upgrade my computer, I made a backup of .acl file, formated the mechine, installted windows xp and office xp. Now When I want to restore my .acl file to office xp, I can not. I found there is not .acl file in office xp/windows xp. I dont want to loose the lot of entries that I have made since 3 years to my MSword 2000. Can any one tell me how to restore autocorrect entries which I have backed up from my old win98 system to the new win xp system. I need this very badly.

Go to C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Microsoft\Office and paste the backed up MSO1033 file there. This should work.

If you cannot see the Application Data folder under C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data, you will need to go to Tools/folder options (in the windows explorer). Click on View tab, go to "hidden files and folders" and select "show hidden files and folders." You should then be able to see your application data folder.
