Re: Two Sets of AutoCorrect?!

Sorry. Even though I can sometimes give the impression that I know what I'm
talking about I can still obviously not tell the difference between
Microsoft implementations of US English and UK English.

US English is 1033; 2057 is UK English. FWIW, my C:\Documents and
Settings\Suzanne S. Barnhill\Application Data\Microsoft\Office folder has
*nine* .acl files, as follows (languages supplied from SDK reference):

MSO1031.acl 1 KB German (Standard)
MSO1033.acl 40 KB English (US)
MSO1035.acl 1 KB Finnish
MSO1036.acl 44 KB French (Standard)
MSO1040.acl 1 KB Italian
MSO1053.acl 1 KB Swedish
MSO2057.acl 37 KB English (UK)
MSO3081.acl 37 KB English (Australia)
MSO3082.acl 49 KB Spanish (Modern Sort)

I can only assume that some of the outliers result from reading email/NG
posts formatted in those languages, but it's obvious only the English,
French, and Spanish ones actually contain any entries.

For each language installed with Office - English versions have English
French and Spanish - you should have two files:

(Installation Root)\Office11\nnnn\MSO.ACL and
(Documents and Settings\userid)\Application
Data\Microsoft\Office\MSOnnnn.ACL

nnnn = 2057 for US English, 1036 for French, and 3082 for Spanish.

The MSO.ACL files are built-in defaults which you don't change. The
others
are where your custom autocorrects go. If you have changed more than one
of
them and/or have any files with other numbers then you are (somehow -
and
not necessarily in Word) using multiple languages.

"There's something very odd here." You finally got the picture, and
it's
not
very odd, it very very very odd! And contrary to your disbelief and to
the
fact that it's impossible, it's really happening in real time! And
once
again
it happens only in one of my templates, and the language is US
English.

Believe me, I have no interest in making any of this up. I certainly
wish
it
wasn't true!

I know your all trying to help, but so far we have gotten nowhere. I
have
checked my .acl files and I have six. The most recent was modified
today
(I
added an autocorrect), then 8 days ago, and two days before that.

There's something very odd here. Your description of what you are
doing
and
seeing doesn't square with my understanding of how Autocorrect
works.
As
Beth has already said, Autocorrect entries are stored in either
(language
specific - and Office-wide) .acl files if they are plain text, or in
your
Normal template (language-independent and Word-specific) if they are
formatted. That's it.

So to go right back to your initial post, what exactly do you mean
when
you
say ...

For example, I'll save a name in a document using this template as
an
autocorrect, and give it an abbreviation.

When you create an autocorrect, the document/template combination is
irrelevant (except for the language it sets).

Then when I type in the
abbreviation the name doesn't come up.

When you type in the abbreviation, followed by whatever Word
determines
to
be a string terminator (space, return, etc.) the autocorrection
should
appear unless you have "Replace as you type" unchecked - or, again,
unless
the language is different.

I've checked the list in
Tools>AutoCorrect and the word is there. But it's not in the
AutoCorrect
file
that Macros9 brings up

This is, AFAIK, impossible (barring language issues) - but I believe
Macros9
does have some limitations.

, and it won't work in this template.

Again, the template has nothing to do with it (unless the template
sets
the
language :))

You state repeatedly that this is not a language issue (despite it
having
all the symptoms of one) so, barring corruption, I don't know what
to
suggest.

Assuming that your autocorrect is not formatted, can you check out
what
.acl
files you have - they should be in ...

(Documents and Settings\userid)\Application
Data\Microsoft\Office

and called MSOnnnn.acl (where nnnn is a language code)

OK, in reply to both your posts, the language ALWAYS shows US
English.
Tha
t
never changes.

Some example? OK, I use foreign words which I italicize and
transliterate.
Things like aufwiedersehn and arigato. Nothing out of the ordinary
except
for
the problems I ma having.

Now what?

"Beth Melton" wrote:

Also, just to verify, by "language" I'm referring to the
proofing
language in use in the document rather than the version. You
don't
have to manually change the language - it can automatically
change
based on the words that are typed. So for example if you type a
French
word the language will change to French. This is even true for
English
UK and English US - so the difference may have not been as
obvious
as
say, Spanish.

When you encounter this issue again do not move the insertion
point
and go to Tools/Language/Set Language and check the language set
for
that point in your document. Note you should also see the
language
for
the AutoCorrect list in the title bar of the dialog.

I hate to keep going back to this, since you have answered this
question several times, but this is the *only* factor in why
using
Macros9.dot shows one list but yet you may see another and why
some
entries appear for one document and not another.

The problem went away yesterday afternoon for no apparent
reason,
but I'm
sure that it will be back because that's what it keeps doing.

I've had this problem for a long time but I only discovered
just
before I
made the original post that it is Template specific. One
template
was giving
me old autocorrects taht I had deleted, and wouldn't accept
new
ones. The
Normal template was giving me the autocorrects that I wanted,
even
those that
I had added while using the other template and that would work
in
that other
template!

Now you can't tell me that's not weird.

And once again, no, it has nothing to do with language.

So, any ideas?
