AutoCorrect entries are missing

Split from this thread.


I have had a bummer of a thing occur. I'm in the middle of writing a time-crunched and very big report. I spent a couple of hours last week making some fantastic new autocorrect entries (Word 2010) but within a few days they had all disappeared. I've looked through these and other forums and I've tried a few things, but honestly I don't know about making macros or normal templates and I've even struggled to find the *acl entries, so I am prepared to wear the loss and start again.

BUT I want to get it right from the very beginning. Could you please outline steps I can take to ensure my autocorrect entries never disappear again or, if they do, which for whatever bizarre reason seems to happen a lot, that I can easily go to some backup file (which I'd commit to updating each time I make a bunch of new autocorrect entries) and wave a wand and restore it.

I'd be so grateful for your help.

Many thanks

Jane
