Summary: If you want to print a list of all the AutoCorrect entries in your document, Word doesn’t provide a method. You can use the macro in this tip to create your own list for printing, however. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, Word 2003, and Word 2007.)
Word provides a way to print just about everything related to your document, except (oddly enough) your AutoCorrect entries. If you want to print them, you are forced to use a macro to accomplish the task. The following macro will create a document, list all the AutoCorrect entries, and format it:
Sub PrintAutoCorrect()
Dim ACE As AutoCorrectEntry
Documents.Add
For Each ACE In Application.AutoCorrect.Entries
Selection.TypeText ACE.Name & vbTab & ACE.Value & vbCrLf
Next
With ActiveDocument.PageSetup
.Orientation = wdOrientLandscape
With .TextColumns
.SetCount NumColumns:=3
.EvenlySpaced = True
.LineBetween = True
End With
End With
ActiveDocument.Paragraphs.TabStops.ClearAll
ActiveDocument.Paragraphs.TabStops.Add Position:=InchesToPoints(1.25)
Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
End Sub
When completed, you can print the document so you have a permanent record of your AutoCorrect entries.
