During my profession as a “Medical Transcriptionist,” it was necessary to have a list of AutoCorrect entries backed up. If the system I was working on fails or moved to a different unit in the office, I had to change the system and creating the AutoCorrect entries manually was a pain and it took another week to have all my entries back. It certainly affected the line count till I get all the entries back especially when I was in “type and upload direct” position (Direct Uploader).
I used a macro called “AutoCorrect Utility” from the Word MVP site, which helped me to keep a copy of all the entries exported into a document. Whenever you need to import all these entries, just click the “Restore” button in the macro dialogue, select the backed up document, and you are done.

Note: You need to allow all macros to run in the MS Word macro settings for this to work. In MS Word 2007, go to Menu > Word Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Macro Settings and choose the “Enable all macros” option.
