Auto-Correct List Modification?

[Arreouw]

Is there a way to modify the auto-correct list without entering each item
individually? I'm a medical transcriptionist, and I want to add a large
number of items to the list of things Word will replace for me. I just don't
want to have to do them individually (it will take too long). Is there a way
to do this?

That was a great link that I'm sure will be helpful in the future, but I have
a file of thousands of little word abbreviations that AutoCorrect can expand,
and I have never entered them into an ACL file at all. What I'm looking for
is a way to enter them in a batch somehow. Can anyone help?

The macro offered at that page creates a text file that can be edited. You
can paste in your additional entries.
