How to Synchronize Autocorrect<>Word & Excell 2007

[Wayne4Js]

I am setting up on a new computer using Vista Op Sys and my Autocorrect list
from Word 2007 doesn't show up/work in Excel 2007. How can I synchronize so
that Excel & Word, use or share the same list

The Office apps share the same AutoCorrect file by default and you can't
point them to use different files. Now, entries in a different language are
stored in separate files and if you created Rich Text entries in Word (those
that contain formatting) they are exclusive to Word and cannot be shared.
Does any of this apply? If not, are you only adding new AutoCorrect entries
or did you copy the *.acl file from another computer?

I also have this problem...Word uses the ACL file with the added entries, but
Excel and Visio do not.
