MORE INFORMATION

AutoCorrect

The innovative AutoCorrect feature automatically replaces errors in mistyped or misspelled words. For instance, if you accidentally type "teh," it is automatically replaced with "the" as soon as you press the SPACEBAR. AutoCorrect also automatically capitalizes the first word of a sentence or the first letter of any day of the week. It also catches common typing mistakes such as typing two capital letters in a row when starting a sentence. Users can add thousands of commonly mistyped or misspelled words to AutoCorrect to suit their personal typing needs.

AutoFormat

With the revolutionary AutoFormat feature in Word 6.0 for Windows, you can automatically format an entire document with one click on the toolbar. Undesirable formatting, such as hard carriage returns, asterisks for bullets, and improper trademark symbols are automatically cleaned up. You can choose from more than 20 predesigned styles that are provided in the Style Gallery, or you can create your own styles. This innovative new AutoFormat feature represents more than two years of design and development work and the implementation of 400 design rules.

AutoSelect

With AutoSelect, selecting a word or a group of words is easy and fast because Word understands that a typical user selects complete words rather than just letters in words. If you start selecting text in the middle of the word, Word 6.0 for Windows goes back and automatically selects the beginning of the word.
