Speed up Typing with AutoCorrect

To automatically correct typos as you type, you can use Word's AutoCorrect.

AutoCorrect uses a list of built-in corrections to detect and correct misspelled words. For example, if you type "the" plus a space, then AutoCorrect replaces what you have typed with "the." You can also use AutoCorrect to quickly insert symbols that are included in the built-in list of AutoCorrect entries. For example, type (c) to insert ©.

AutoCorrect can save you a lot of typing work by adding your own shortcuts and phrases. Here's some examples.

Replace "mis" with "miscellaneous."
Replace "box" with "Secretarial Business-In-A-Box."
Replace "thankspurchase" with "Thank you for purchasing the Secretarial Business-In-A-Box. The Secretarial Business-In-A-Box will help you start your secretarial business quickly."

I created a whole list of shortcuts with AutoCorrect. Here's some examples. Here's how to add your own entries to the list of automatic corrections:
1. On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options.
2. In the Replace box, type a word or phrase that you often mistype or misspell — for example, type usualy.
3. In the With box, type the correct spelling of the word — for example, type usually.
4. Click Add.

Start creating your own shortcuts with AutoCorrect and speed up your typing.
