text replacement export

Is there a way to share text replacements from one account to another? My work colleague has a long list that she needs to share with me and we would like to not have to type them all in one by one.

Thanks for any help you can give!

Text replacement on Mac only works in Apple apps I have set up a number of text replacements on my iphone, which, therefore, have also been transferred to my Mac via iCloud. To my dismay, it turns out that they only work in Apple apps like Pages, Safari, the Apple mail app, TextEdit and so on, but do not work in Microsoft Word and other 3rd-party apps. Can anyone suggest a way of making it work in Word, etc.? I used to have Typinator installed on my Mac, but I discovered (possibly because of duplication with the native text replacements) that it produced a strange effect when typing the name of a document while saving it, so I deleted Typinator. I realize that I could remove. all my existing text replacements and install Typinator on both my iphone and my Mac, but I would much rather not do that if a simple solution using the native text replacements could be found. (My Mac is a 2013 Mac mini, not a 2018+ one, but I can find no way of selecting it)

Can you import a list of text replacements to iPhone? Birding folks use 4 or 6-letter abbreviations for bird species - called banding codes because they are used when banding birds. It's also a nice way to abbreviate when texting fellow birders. However, since not everyone knows the codes, it would be nice to type 'nrws' and have it expand to Northern Rough-wing Swallow. Being able to import a list of 200-300 would be really nice. Is it possible? Through iCloud maybe? Thanks

I don't think there is any way to do that. If you find something is missing on iOS devices, you may provide --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple < here.
