AutoCorrect in Word
- Click on Tools > AutoCorrect.
- This program is always operating in the background.
- When you type a small letter where there shouldn't be one (i.e., I, at the beginning of a sentence), AutoCorrect automatically capitalizes it.
- It also corrects spelling mistakes based on the list contained within the program.
- AutoCorrect allows you to customize the Word environment as you type and to manipulate your text.
- The dialogue window you see when you click on AutoCorrect contains common errors that are automatically corrected as you type.
- You can de-select options you don't want.
- You can also edit to add errors that you make often and have them automatically corrected.
- In the left column type your common spelling error, and in the right column type the corrected version, as it should appear in your document.
- Now AutoCorrect will automatically correct your error as you type.
- Try this Exercise to see how AutoCorrect works. Type in the following paragraph with the mistakes and watch what happens on the screen as you type:
