Default how do you change i to I automatically when writing

See http://www.gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm
It looks for 'i' starting a Word followed by a space or an apostrophe and
changes the found text to all caps.

What does exactly this macro do?!!!

You can use autocorrect (word options / proofing) and it works most
of the time, or if you can't be bothered to press the shift key to
insert capitals, you could use find and replace e.g. with the
following macro:

With Selection.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With .Replacement.Font
.SmallCaps = False
.AllCaps = True
End With
.Text = "i[' ]"
.Replacement.Text = "^&"
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = True
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchWildcards = True
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
