PRJ: AutoCorrect in Microsoft Project (242646)

SUMMARY

This article discusses where Microsoft Project applies the AutoCorrect feature.

You can use the AutoCorrect feature to automatically detect and correct typing errors, misspelled words, grammatical errors, and incorrect capitalization. For example, if you type "teh" plus a space, AutoCorrect replaces what you have typed with "the." You can also use AutoCorrect to quickly insert text, graphics, or symbols. For example, type (c) to insert (c), or type ac to insert "Acme Corporation."

The following table lists the Microsoft Project fields in which AutoCorrect is in effect:

Field	Comments

Notes (resource field)	AutoCorrect is only in effect when you use this field in a table.

To customize the way that AutoCorrect works, you can turn options on and off, or edit the AutoCorrect entries. For the AutoCorrect capitalization and spelling checker options, you can also create an "exceptions list" that specifies the corrections that you don't want AutoCorrect to make. For example, you can prevent AutoCorrect from capitalizing a word that you type after the abbreviation "info."
