I get it to work now after I rename normal.dot to normal2.dot. Word automatically created another normal.dot

thank you

Thank you for the new trick

Thank you, it works fine. I did not know about these compiler constants

Indead, I got the problem solved. It was an easy one to solve, but I did not know. Since the words I tried to removed from the autocorrect entry were already in the dictionary. From the autocorrec entry there is a box to automatically suggested words from the spell checker. This box was checked, when I unchecked it, that solved the problem. I could not believe it was so easy to solve. What happened, when a user removes a word from the autocorrect, since the same word is in the dictionary. When the user type the replaced word, which is the incorrect one, it replaces automatically from the suggested word in the dictionary.

This is the code I used

AutoCorrect.Entries(strWord3).Delete

the problem is not the code. Even when I go to tools autocorrect and remove the entry, when I type it, it still comes up. I will try to use the import, instead to create another template. I want to know also if a template can be corrupted.

I strongly believe the template is corrupted. When I tried the same thing in normal.dot, there was not any problem. I want to ask you if a template can be corrupted? In the template in question, I went to tools autocorrect and deleted the entry. Although it was removed from the autoentry list, but when I typed the word in ? it still appears. I did the same thing in the normal.dot without any problem. It seems like I have to create another template.

Another question, if I create another template to fix the problem, about my menu and toolbar. Do I have to create them over?

What appened I used 2 subs one to add word to the autocorrect entry and the other remove the same word to the entry. Some of the words like 20 or less, after I removed them from the entry (that means there are no longer in the list), when I type them automatically, they stil exist. To fix that problem, I have to exit word or close the template. Then when I readd the same word to the entry, same thing happened.

I don’t know what do do to fix the problem, but this is what I think possible. I will copy all the macros in text format like the notepad. Then I will uninstall word, like delete everything, if possible clean up also the registry. Then I will create a new template with the same name. Then paste all the text macro to it.

What do you think? This is the only way I think I can do it.

What I can’t understand, when I remove the same word from the autocorrenct entry by going to the tools menu, then I type the same word, it sitll autocorrected. Remember it appened only for some of them.

I got you. I would like to watch for space. For example, space bar will determine the end of a word. The macro will be attached to a template. When the template is closed, the macro is also destroyed.

I already had this part work. I want to know if I can use selection.typetext or selection.words in order when I type the keys for the items to retrieve automatically. It works fine in VB, but not in word.

If DictData.Exists(selection.typetext text::=.keys) Then (selection.typetext text:=.keys) = DictData(selection.typetext text:=.itemst)

this is what I want to do. Since selection.typtext recognize characters not words. I want to know what I can do make it recognize words. For example, watch for space.

I want Words to monitor words that are being typed. If these words (keys) exist in the dictionary, I want them to be repaced automatically by the items. I want to know what should I do make Word monitors words that are being typed.

I don’t want to use the autocorrect entry for what I am doing. I prefer to use the dictionary of object.

Thank you for let me know. I thought it was the same for VB and VBA.

the 32k I mentioned is not 32k of byte, it is 32,000 entry

How to add a second .acl file. I don

I have figured it out by ocpying my template to the startup directory. However when I dod that, my template become global. I don’t know much about global template, however I don’t like it. I assume in a global template, the macros are available to any templte. I don’t like that. I want my macros to be available only wihin my template. For that reason, I seems like it is not good to get the edit button gray.

Is there another I can’t do it to avoid the global templage?

I password protected the project. The edit button is still available. Password protected only ask users for password. When I password protected my project, the edit button did not turn gray.

Charles, sorry the response was not addressed to you. It was addressed to Phil. I tried Phil’s approach. I have not tried your approach. I am going to look at that as well. I think I may handle it that way. Since they are not too many words that are English like, I may need to sort them and add them to the autonew and auto open so every time users start a new or open a new document based on that themplage, the word can be added automatically to the entry. Since the amount can be like 20 or 30 words, speed maybe unsignificant. Let me know what do you think about this approach. Do you think it is better? Do you think speed can be a problem for 20 to 30 words every time user start a new document?
