It's simple to use and a lot easier than tracking down your AutoCorrect file yourself. Simply install the macro (with detailed instructions offered at the via link below), launch it, and choose where to save a Word document with your custom AutoCorrect settings, and hit "Restore" to import settings from a different installation. Of course, you could always switch over to app-neutral text substitution utilities like <A href="http://lifehacker.com/software/texter/lifehacker-code-texter-windows-238306.php">Texter</A>, but this macro should be a real time-saver for those who have finely tuned their Word.
