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, Word will
automatically replace spelling and typing errors you type. Also,
if you choose, you can set Word to automatically replace
misspelled words with words from the spelling checker dictionary
as you type by selecting the Automatically use suggestions
from the spelling checker check box. For further
information, see the topic "AutoCorrect" in Word 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 "Add AutoCorrect
Entries for Misspellings and Typos."
