2. On the AutoCorrect tab, scroll down the AutoCorrect list to find "wern't." Click to select the AutoCorrect entry, and then click Delete.
3. In the Replace box, press the Delete key on the keyboard to remove the entry, and then type wern't.
4. Press the TAB key to move to the With box, and then type weren't.
5. Click Add to add the entry back to the AutoCorrect list, and then click OK.

NOTE: When you add the AutoCorrect entry back to the AutoCorrect list, the apostrophe will not be a curly (Smart Quote) apostrophe.
