-----------------     ------          ----------

86, para 1,           Replace text    If you want Word to fix an
last sentence                         error, regardless of case,
                                      specify a lowercase entry. For
                                      example, "documetn" fixes
                                      "documetn," "Documetn," and
                                      "DOCUMETN." The entry
                                      "Documetn" fixes "Documetn"
                                      and "DOCUMETN," but not
                                      "documetn." The entry
                                      "DOCUMETN" fixes only the
                                      uppercase error.

                                      version of Word. If you
                                      haven't changed the template,
