Tip of the Week: AutoCorrect
Microsoft Office features an automatic correction tool to correct common misspelling. Today's Tip will show you how to use that feature to save keystrokes with a long word or phrase you type frequently. For example, it may be useful that instead of typing "Simplicity Force" every time it was required, "sf" could be typed instead.
Here's how:
- Select Tools --> AutoCorrect Options.
- If the AutoCorrect Tab is not already active, select it.
- In the box below "Replace:", type "sf" or the abbreviation you would like to type.
- In the box below "With:", type "Simplicity Force" or what you would like to appear in the document.
- Click "Add".
- Click "OK".
If you ever need to actually type the abbreviation, simply press CRTL and Z at the same time to undo the Automatic correction.
Now you just need to figure out what to do with all the time you saved!
