Here’s a quick tip to AutoCorrect errors as you type in Word:

  • Capitalization options – AutoCorrect can capitalize the first word in a sentence, the names of days of the week, the first letter of text in a table cell, and so on.
  • AutoCorrect entries – AutoCorrect can use a list of built-in corrections, called AutoCorrect entries, to detect and correct typos, misspelled words, and common symbols. You can easily remove unwanted entries or add your own entries.
  • Spelling checker corrections – AutoCorrect can use corrections that are generated by the spelling checker’s main dictionary.

1. On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options.
