OFF97: AutoCorrect Does Not Allow Multiple Word ExceptionsLast reviewed: July 8, 1997Article ID: Q157029 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSWhen you use the AutoCorrect feature provided in the products listed at the beginning of this article, you are unable to add an exception that consists of more than one word.
STATUSThis is by design in Microsoft Office 97 programs.
MORE INFORMATIONWith AutoCorrect, you can choose to automatically capitalize the first letter of the first word in each sentence. For example, if you type "this is a test.", AutoCorrect changes this to "This is a test." so that the first letter of the sentence is capitalized. Also with AutoCorrect, you can choose to automatically change two consecutive uppercase letters in a word, so that the second uppercase letter becomes a lowercase letter. For example, if you type "HEllo", AutoCorrect changes this to "Hello" automatically. You can create exceptions to prevent automatic capitalization of any word typed after a specific abbreviation or to prevent automatic case correction of a word that contains a mixture of uppercase and lowercase letters. However, each exception that you add must be a single word; an individual exception cannot be more than one word. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
