AutoCorrect

Word's AutoCorrect feature can assist you in word processing tasks. AutoCorrect can help you
locate misspelled words and correct them as you type. AutoCorrect can also be customized so
that commonly used words will be automatically entered without you having to type the entire
word.

Examples:

When typing the misspelled word stannd, Word will automatically convert this typo to the
correct spelling, stand.

Instead of having to write a long proper noun like GCFLearnFree.org, you can customize
AutoCorrect to automatically complete the rest of the proper noun once you type the letters GCF.

To modify AutoCorrect:

 Click Tools.
 Select AutoCorrect Options from the menu bar. The AutoCorrect Options
dialog box appears.
 Check or deselect any of the following options:
o Show AutoCorrect Options buttons
o Correct two initial capitals
o Capitalize the first letter of the sentence
o Capitalize the first letter of table cells
o Capitalize names of days
o Correct accidental usage of Caps Lock key
o Replace text as you type
  Use the Replace: box to type a word you frequently misspell, or type a
shorthand word to represent a longer word or phrase, such as
GCFLearnFree.org.
 Use the With: box to type the correct word.
 Click Add.

If you type a misspelled word into AutoCorrect's With: box, AutoCorrect always misspells that
word.

If AutoCorrect changes a word you don't want it to change, you can hover the pointer over the
area where the correction was made and a Smart Tag will appear that allows you to reset the
original word. Click the Smart Tag, and a drop-down list with options to reverse the action is
displayed.

characters, and formats. The Find and Replace functionality can really help save you time and
effort in your word processing goals.
