Word 2003

Modifying AutoCorrect:

• Click Tools.
• Select AutoCorrect Options from the menu bar. The AutoCorrect Options dialog box appears.
• Check or deselect any of the following options:
  • Show AutoCorrect Options buttons
  • Correct two initial capitals
  • Capitalize the first letter of the sentence
  • Capitalize the first letter of table cells
  • Capitalize names of days
  • Correct accidental usage of Caps Lock key
  • 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.
