I badly mistype some words when rushing that I know how to spell, but the spell checker suggestions do not always come up with the word I mean. Can Word be told to replace specific common misspellings with a certain word? Cheers Colin

Tools > Autocorrect options > Autocorrect Also: Whenever you do a F7 (or whatever) spelling check, be sure to click on the "Autocorrect" button in the dialog that pops up. Over time you will populate the Autocorrect list with your own common misspellings and their corrections. -- Bob, hwo used to be a top-notch proff-reeder but lets the sofware take care of that nowdays.

Thank you - very much appreciated.
That is really helpful, thank you, and it works but ... when I import the text from another piece of software because the text is already there and I am not typing it in, the autocorrect does not work. Is there a way of getting Word to scan the document and make the changes based on the words imported and not typed in? Cheers Colin
