C REATING AN A UTO C ORRECT E NTRY  D ISCUSSION

If you commonly misspell or mistype a word, you can create an AutoCorrect entry for it. After creating an AutoCorrect entry, the word is automatically replaced by the correct text whenever you mistype it in a document.

Also, create an AutoCorrect entry for any frequently used word or phrase. Whenever you type the defined AutoCorrect entry, Word automatically expands it into the complete word or phrase. In addition, if you create the AutoCorrect entry in all lowercase letters, it will be easier to type. For example, if your company name is Worldwide Sporting Goods , you can create an AutoCorrect entry for it as wsg . Then, whenever you type wsg , the full company name appears, correctly spelled and with the correct capitalization.

Add AutoCorrect entries as plain or formatted text. AutoCorrect formats plain text to match the text it is replacing. Formatted AutoCorrect entries, however, always retain their defined formatting. For example, if you create an AutoCorrect entry for wsg as shown above and type it in bold, 14-point text, the expanded text will always be bold and 14 points as well.

The name for the AutoCorrect entry appears in the Replace box in the AutoCorrect dialog box and can be up to 31 characters long. The replacement text appears in the With box and can contain paragraph marks and graphics as well as text.
