to overwrite the one in a different file name on the other computer, it
doesn't work. I successfully moved it to my laptop and to my Windows

Jeannie,

Word 2003 and Win XP work the same as previous versions. You just need to
paste the files to the correct folder. (If you are using Word 97 and
transferring the AutoCorrect file to a newer version, you need to rename
the .acl file to match the file name in the newer version.)

How are you transferring the files? If you are using a CD, files are
automatically set to read only when you copy to CD, then you need to
change that attribute after the transfer so Word can read them.
Right-click the file, select Properties, then clear the Read-only
attribute.
