Yes. You'll need to download two templates to help with the job.

On the old computer, download the AutoCorrect.zip file from
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/ExportAutocorrect.htm, unzip it,
and use the template's macro to create the backup document in Word 2000.
Move a copy of that backup document to the new computer.

On the new computer, download the AutoCorrect2007.zip file from
http://jay-freedman.info, unzip it, and use its macro to load the backup
document into Word 2007.

As the first article explains briefly, there is no single AutoCorrect
list -- unformatted entries are stored in .acl files, while formatted ones
are stored in Normal.dot. The backup macros in these two templates will
handle both kinds.
