SUMMARY
The following examples contain Visual Basic for Applications macros that
you can use to add items to and remove items from the Microsoft Excel
AutoCorrect list.
With AutoCorrect, changes are made to existing text only when a cell is
activated. In addition, the AutoCorrect feature is case sensitive. That is,
if you type the original word in capital letters, the replacement will be
entered in capital letters as well.
