SUMMARY

This article lists the AutoCorrect entries that are found in Microsoft Office Word 2003, but are not contained in Microsoft Office OneNote 2003.

MORE INFORMATION

To automatically detect and correct typos, misspelled words, and incorrect capitalization, you can use AutoCorrect.

For example, if you type teh plus a space, AutoCorrect replaces what you typed with "the." Or if you type This is theh ouse plus a space, AutoCorrect replaces what you typed with "This is the house."

You can also use AutoCorrect to quickly insert symbols that are included in the built-in list of AutoCorrect entries, for example, type (c) to insert ©.

If the list of built-in entries does not contain the corrections that you want, you can add entries.

OneNote 2003 contains all the same AutoCorrect entries that Word 2003 contains except the entries that are listed in the following table:

What you type...Description

:|Bored face
<--Left arrow
<==Heavy left arrow
