AutoCorrect is comparable to the AutoCorrect option of Microsoft Word. Its purpose is to correct common spelling mistakes (for instance, "segement" to "segment" or "Deja Vu" to "Déjà Vu") but you can also use it like AutoText to abbreviate often used words. Unlike AutoText though, it is an automated function that can either be enabled or disabled.

To manually add new AutoCorrect entries

1. Highlight the term that you would like to add as an AutoText entry.
2. Right-click on the selection and select Add Selection to AutoText from the context menu.
   –Or–
   Access the menu option Insert>AutoText>Save Selection to AutoCorrect.
3. The Add AutoCorrect entry dialog appears with your selection already displayed under Replace with.
   
4. Enter the often misspelled or shortened form under Token.
5. Select whether this is supposed to be valid for all projects (Global entry) or only for the current project.
6. Click OK.

To use AutoCorrect

1. Access the menu option File>Options>Proofing.
2. In the AutoCorrect options section click on the AutoCorrect Options... button.
3. The AutoCorrect Option dialog is opened with the AutoCorrect tab open.
4. Make sure that you enable the AutoCorrect enabled option.

Every time you now enter a token—i.e., an incorrectly spelled form that you have defined on the AutoCorrect tab—into the target field of the appropriate language, and hit the space bar, the correct form will appear.

To delete or modify AutoCorrect entries

1. Access the menu option File>Options>Proofing.
2. In the AutoCorrect options section select the AutoCorrect Options button.
3. The AutoCorrect Option dialog is opened with the open AutoCorrect tab.
   
4. If you need to delete an entry, select the entry and click Delete (which will be activated once you select an entry.)
   –Or–
   If you need to modify an AutoCorrect entry make the necessary modifications under Replace with and click Replace (which will appear once you modify an entry.)
5. Click OK.

To import AutoCorrect entries

To start the import process from Microsoft Word, you will have to select Import from Word on the AutoCorrect tabnote.
