    If i understand you correctly (it is quite possible i dont) abiword does
    not yet have a facility/functionality for AutoCorrect.

    This bug is related to a whole bunch of autoreplace autocorrect issues.
    http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2322

    The files I sent were examples Auto Correct Lists (.acl) from MSOffice and
    most likely were binary OLE files (the local verson of file just says they
    are data). Anyone who has used office will probably have a .acl file in
    the profile data, so if you want more data they should not be hard to
    find.

    Sincerely
    Alan Horkan
