Couple of links that might be useful (sorry nothing specific to 2010 that I could find)

Unfortunately, this doesn't work with Word 2010. There is no specific macro document for Word 2010, like Macros8 or macros9 that work with 1997-2003 versions of word. These macros save the autocorrect entries as Word files with a 3 column table. There appears to be no way of importing this into Word 2010. Someone at Microsoft needs to write a macro to do it!

Thanks

auto-text entries are stored on the normal.dot file - have you tried copying this over ?

My apologies I hadn't thought of that.
Consistency seems to be a problem as far as MS is concerned when they upgrade their versions. :)
