AutoCorrect -- a time saving feature in Word

Microsoft Word’s AutoCorrect feature expands a 2 or 3 abbreviation into a complete name, or other word or phrase, so you don’t have to type it in manually.

To create one:

1. Type the word or phrase, then select it
2. On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect or AutoCorrect Options
3. Select the AutoCorrect tab
4. Select the “Replace text as you type” check box
5. Type a two-letter or three-letter abbreviation for the name in the Replace box
6. Click Add, and then click OK to save

To use it:

When you type the 2 or 3 letter abbreviation into your document and press SPACEBAR, Word will expand the abbreviation into the full name or phrase.
