Default Export auto correct dictionary

I frequently add to the custom dictionary, and enter auto correct words as
well.
How do I copy the data over to another computer as well?

Dave Peterson gave the following advice recently:

I like to do it this way.

Old pc.
Open excel.
Make a minor change to the autocorrection list.
close excel.
search for *.acl and copy the one with the latest date.

New pc.
Open excel.
Make a minor change to the autocorrection list.
close excel.
search for *.acl.
Make note of the path/filename for that latest version of *.acl.

Put the old pc's *.acl in that folder under that name.

Then back to both pc's and clean up that minor change.

And I use that when I share between two pcs that I use. I'm careful to make
sure I don't overwrite stuff I want to keep.

If you want more control...

Dana DeLouis posted some code that would display the current contents of the
autocorrect list and update the Autocorrection list, too.
