Subject: Where do I find the autocorrection file in Word?
Written By: K1chyd on 11/14/05 at 2:29 pm
Hi!
In Windows Word there's this auto correct function, you know the one that automatically adjusts "the" to "the" and "(c)" to the copyright symbol etc. I'm an avid user of this function and now it has struck me that I oughta back up the file that holds all the auto corrections I've over time added myself. The only problem is that I can't figure out how to find it (assuming it's all in a single file and not some other way).
Is this the right place for this question?

Hmm... maybe I didn't ask that question very well, I do know where to find the function, I use it a lot and have added several hundreds of my on correction, or to be more specific I'm making up my own abbreviation for longer phrases that I have to type severeal times a day so that I only have to type the abbreviation to get the whole phrase written.
What I'd like to know is how to back up the file that contains these autocorrections. What's the name name of that file? Where in the windows directory is it located? Can this be done?
