autocorrect entries from word 2003 to word 2010

Can anyone help me transfer my autocorrect entries from Word 2003 to Word 2010.  I have backed up the autocorrect entries from the old computer.  It is saved as a word document on my thumb drive.  How to I install on Word 2010?  Please help.  I'm desperate.

As far as I can tell, the AutoCorrect Backup program contained in support.dot still works when run in Word 2010. Assuming you still have Word 2003, you can install and run the macro as shown here:

Once you've saved your autocorrect entries for Word 2003, copy the backup file and support.dot to your Word 2010 computer, and open support.dot as if it were an ordinary word file. Click the AutoCorrect Backup button shown in the document window, click Restore, navigate to the location of AutoCorrectBackup Document.doc, select it, click Open, etc.
