Backup word autocorrect help?
I have Word 2002, Windows XP. I use a ton of Word autocorrect entries for my job and as my computer crashed late last year and I spent a ton of money and time getting this new computer and redoing my autocorrect entries by memory, I am wondering 2 different things:

1) How do I backup my Autocorrect entries, either to an external hard drive, or like a data CD?

2) Is there a way to print out my Autocorrect entries in Word to have as a paper copy?

I would appreciate any help. I have googled this and there are soooo many different entries and ideas, would like something that is fairly straightforward and doesn't take a computer expert! Thanks a ton!

The Custom Dictionary is located here:

It's a text file and can be opened, edited, and printed.
