To save time and keystrokes, you can set
AutoCorrect options to automatically correct common spelling
errors, typos and incorrect capitalization as you type. When you
chose the option Replace text as you type, Outlook will
automatically replace spelling and typing errors you type. For
further information, see the topic "AutoCorrect" in Outlook
Help.
Note To view a
list of common spelling and typing errors that will be
automatically corrected when the Replace text as you type
option is turned on, scroll through the list under Replace
on the AutoCorrect tab. You can also add words to this
list. See the following step by step guide "Make AutoCorrect
Entries for Misspellings and Typos."
