AutoCorrect Backup

Some time ago, I was sent a tip on how to backup the Excel / Word Autocorrect list in a Word document (.doc) format as opposed to simply saving the .acl file to a different location. Since then, I have gradually set up a very extensive list of AutoCorrect entries but have lost the method for doing the backup / conversion. I am hoping that someone else in this little corner of cyberspace got hold of the same tip / trick, but, unlike me, remembered what it is, where it is and how to use it. And I would hope that they are willing to share their knowledge with Captain McBozo the absent minded one.
Thanks in advance for any help I will receive.
Who knows! If this works out well, I might just force myself to break down and start putting more effort into VB coding to replace some of the old Lotus macros that I used to extensively write & use.
Thanks again ... Rick
