Outlook autocorrect not working on new laptop

Hi, I use Outlook for work and use it's auto correct features a lot for standard replies to emails.
everything works fine on my old PC running vista but when I installed my copy of Microsoft Office onto my new laptop running windows 7, home edition, outlook never remembers my saved corrections. I go through and set some auto correct options like
pb - will open a pre formatted list in my mail.
Then if i close outlook and open again it doesn't seem to remember what i last saved.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Office several time, and tried some suggestions here on uninstalling Outlook totally, but i get the same problem.
It's strange that my copy of Office works fine on 3 other computers running vista or XP but not windows 7.
Does anyone have any ideas to help, i really would like to use my laptop for work but can't due to the auto correct not working.

HELP!

Simon

Sorry, Office 2007. I tried starting in safe mode that didn't help, it still doesn't remember autocorrect in office but the weird thing is it does in Word.

any other thoughts?

okay, so i've uninstalled and use microsoft Fixit to get rid of Office, downloaded and installed Office 10 and know I can't get any new autocorrect to work. and the use formatted text button is grayed out. help

I have a slightly different problem I haven't seen asked, I have a new work computer with 2010 outlook, autocomplete doesn't work on the 100+ emails I have. I can follow these directions to get it to work in the default email, but my office has a second email more commonly used that is in outlook as well, and autocomplete worked on the old computer for both emails. How can I get it to work on both the default email and the secondary email on my new computer? Thanks
