Mark, AMost of those items are stored in NORMAL.DOT. Just copy that file from the .....\OFFICE\TEMPLATES folder. (..... is your particular path) If the macros are global, then they will be there also. If the macro was saved for a particular file, then it resides inside the file. You can use the macro manager to copy/move a macro into the normal.dot file. Click TOOLS -- TEMPLATES&ADDINS -- then click the ORGANIZER button and finally the MACRO tab. Custom dictionary items reside in CUSTOM.DIC and I'm not sure where autocorrect items "live"....
