macro to transpose characters
I doubt that it is possible to write a macro that could correct "I am schu a
bda typsit that I coul dnot lits all the wrdos thta I wnta toc orrect." Transposition of two adjacent characters that are selected can be done with Selection.Text = Right(Selection.Text, 1) & Left(Selection.Text, 1) Probably better for you to spend your time learning how to type properly than spend it correcting your mistakes. Even with a macro, that is going to take time. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Thanks for your response, Doug. That was a feeble attempt at some humour. I
am not really THAT bad. I recently came over from WP5.1 and there I had a macro such as I described (because of course there I did not have AutoCorrect). I will try to make one as you describe.

macro to transpose characters
When I'm tired, my typing becomes almost as bad as what you describe. Over
the years, however, I've slowly but surely added just about every one to the AutoCorrect list. In case you haven't discovered how easy this is... once "bda" is underscored as wrong, right-click it and choose AutoCorrect - Bad. Presto. It's there. If it ever "fixes" something that wasn't broken, just press Ctrl+Z and keep on typing. For my money, that's easier than running a transposition macro, and after a few weeks, you'll have most of the bases covered. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. http://www.herbtyson.com "Elizabeth" wrote in message ...
