File Extension ACL

File type: AutoCorrect List File

About the ACL file type:

If Windows cannot find the appropriate program associated with .ACL files, then your registry may have errors. Check your Windows registry for errors (includes file association errors).

The ACL file extension references the AutoCorrect List generated by the AutoCorrect feature inherent in the Microsoft Office productivity suite. This function is used for automatically implementing corrections to grammatical and spelling errors that have been spotted by the application based on a pre-configured algorithm used by the default language. The feature supported by the ACL format file can be customized by the user from within the Microsoft Office application only and cannot be manually edited with other applications. Normally, a global ACL file extension document is associated with every language defined by the user with each change implemented within an Office application affecting the AutoCorrect feature in other programs in the suite. By going into the system policy configuration, the user can control how this feature behaves during runtime. The settings associated with the ACL file extension also supports the customizing of features for an explicit user group as part of the system policy.

The contents of the ACL file extension can be backed up by the user in order to make sure that in any instance, it can be restored into the system. This safeguard can be executed by the user by going into the Tools menu of any Office application and choosing the Add-Ins feature from the Templates option. Clicking the Add button under the Global Templates and add-ins options would bring up the Add Template dialog box which would allow the user to dictate where the program should look for the target file. When attempting to restore the AutoCorrect entries into a target computer system, the same process can be followed by the user with the location specified being the same place where the backup ACL file extension file is stored. Upon loading of the file to be restored, the AutoCorrectUtil option must be launched from the Macros menu which will automatically complete the restoration process.
