I have found advice to disable autocorrect by unchecking 'Correct Spelling Automatically'. It cannot be done, as it is greyed out. The autocorrect is infuriating and I want it to die.
Hey there-
I commonly use words that start with double capitals - for example, I have a lot of research assistants (commonly referred to as "RAs"). However, "RAs" continuously autocorrects to "Ras," no matter how many times I change it back. And I have to make
sure I type a word after the autocorrected term, then go back and change it (if I change it before typing a new word, it will autocorrect again when I press the spacebar).
I've tried teaching it to the dictionary, but can't figure out how - it doesn't register as a misspelled word, just one with incorrect capitalization...so I can't use the "show spelling and grammar" submenu to teach the program new terms.
Does anyone have any ideas for how to fix this, other than disabling the "autocorrect double capitals at the beginning of words" feature for ALL words?
Thanks!
Adrian
Why did MS get rid of the autocorrect button in the spelling checker for Outlook?
It is a fundamental part of my efficiency since I am a poor typist and I make many consistent errors. In Entourage the process is much speedier as I can type much faster when the autocorrect function is working. In Outlook, I have to pause, call up the
spell check, then can only correct the word at that moment. I assume there is no autocorrect learning going on in the background.
Am I missing something, or is it really the case that MS has removed the autocorrect function? Or is the last line in the SpellCheck window list (Correct Spelling Automatically) meant to do this? If so, it is not working in my case. Is there a way to
make it work?
