Hello and thanks in advance for any help you can provide. I am a real newbie at all this.
I am trying to export my autocorrected words from Microsoft Word so I can use them in the chrome autocorrect extension 'spelling bee .' The chrome extension allows you to upload files of misspelled words and their autocorrection in csv format.
The problem I face is that my autocorrected list from microsoft word is an acl file. I have spent quite a while trying to figure out how to convert my acl file to a csv file with no success. I thought that I could just manually format the file myself When I open the acl file as a text file, but the formatting and spacing are so off, it would take forever to do it manually.
Is there a straight forward way to open the acl file in simple delimited format? There are many posts online about how to transfer acl files from one system to another, but I could not figure out how to simply convert the acl file into a csv or other appropriately delimited file. If there is a thread out there that addresses this that I may have overlooked please let me know. Thanks again for your consideration.

At this link there is a 18kb utitily which will backup your autocorrect to a word document, you can then copy that table into excel and make it into a .csv Autocorrect utility . It's made for Word 97 and 2000, but I used it no problems with Word 2007 and 2010
