Add Words to AutoCorrect Entries

AutoCorrect feature is used to correct typos and misspelled words (dont to don’t), as well as to insert symbols ((c) as ©) and other pieces of text. AutoCorrect is set up by default with a list of typical misspellings and symbols. If you want to add more entries, you can do that by following

Office Button - -> Word Options - -> Proofing Tab - - >Autocorrect Options

Add the mistyped word and the replacement in Replace Box -- >Add
