AutoCorrect can supply the proper characters for copyright and trademark symbols, ellipses and arrows. Word also automatically inserts certain "emoticons", often used in informal email correspondence.
To view the pre-configured auto corrections, select AutoCorrect. Word will display the AutoCorrect dialogue box. The AutoCorrect dialogue box offers a series of controls that determine how AutoCorrect is applied. Word can automatically correct common typing errors, such as the incorrect entry of two capital letters at the beginning of a word. Word can also autocorrect the capitalization of the first word of a sentence, table entry or day name. It can also correct the accidental misuse of the Caps Lock key. In addition, Word can provide auto-correction for mathematical symbols like fractions and uncommon mathematical symbols.
To access the AutoCorrect dialogue box, select the Office button in the upper left corner of the application window. Choose the Word Options button from the lower right corner. Choose Proofing from the left menu pane in the Word Options dialogue box and the choose AutoCorrect Options button to open the AutoCorrect dialogue box.
The AutoCorrect dialogue box will show you a scrollable list of the AutoCorrect entries Word has been pre-programmed with. Since the list is extensive, you may wish to search it for existing entries before you enter your own. If you make an entry in the "Replace" text box, Word will automatically scroll to the nearest existing entries in alphabetical order.
If no entry for your desired correction exists, simply enter the letter combination you want Word to replace in the Replace text box. Enter the desired correction in the With text box. Click Add when you have entered the correction. Word will replace the letter combination you've specified with the correct entry in all documents in the future.
