Question Is there any clever way to synchro AutoCorrect entries among different computers?

I work from two different computers - work and home, and I've been able to synchronize other settings - like Normal.Dot, by using DropBox. I put the Normal.dot in a DropBox folder and point to the folder as the template folder in the Tools-Options-File Locations.

However, according to my internet search, and it looks like there is no option to designate the location for AutoCorrect entries. Has anyone found any clever way to work around this and synchronize AutoCorrect entries among different computers?

Is there any way to change the directory in which the .ACL file is saved, in the manner similar to changing the default directory for templates and user files?

If that's feasible, then I can just point Word to a Dropbox directory for .ACL files. That's how I sync Normal.DOT file across different computers.
