Easy, Use the find utility on the windows "Start" button. Use the Find Files box and put *.dic in the box ans search for your list. When you find them note the path copy the file and re-copy it to the same path on the other PC. It should work as if it was done on the PC all along! JSW

Sub ListAutocorrect()

Dim correctList As Variant

Dim x As Integer

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Range("A1").Value = "Replace"

Range("B1").Value = "Replace With"

With Range("A1:B1")

.Font.Bold = True

.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter

End With

correctList = Application.AutoCorrect.ReplacementList

On Error Resume Next

For x = 1 To UBound(correctList)

Range("A1").Offset(x, 0).Value = correctList(x, 1)

Range("A1").Offset(x, 1).Value = correctList(x, 2)

Next x

Columns("A:B").AutoFit
