Joe,  Thanks to your insight I was able to track down the problem.  The
company laptop that I am using was probably set up by a contract company
that used  disk cloning to install software.  They apparently did not set
up any of the laptops with the AutoCorrect file path. With your information
I found from Microsoft KB:
(http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q135/8/72.asp)
where the paths to the ACL files are stored in the Registry.  From that I
was able to modify the Registry to point to the ACL files.  Before I had
none of the standard words, only the "emoticons" and arrows.  Thanks for
your help.
