~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008/Microsoft ACL [English]

(other languages may also be available, depending on what you have
installed or used).

I added an AutoCorrect then sorted my Microsoft preferences by date and it
shows this file:

"~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008/Microsoft Office ACL [English]"

However, I have this note, but it's older. My Normal file did not show a
modification to the date after I made the change.

AutoCorrect entries (Stored in two locations) The formatted entries are in
the Normal template, the office-wide plain-text entries are in the MS Office
ACL file.
