I find that while typing the word 'from', many a times the word 'fro' is
typed by mistake. But spell/grammer check cannot detect it as the word 'fro'
is already a valid dictionary word. Since the word 'fro' is rarely used in
day to day use while the word 'from is extensively used, I suggest to include
an warning in spell checking or grammer checking with an option to chage
'fro' to 'from' at user's discretion.

If you really want to change "fro" to "from" every time it occurs, you can
enter it as an AutoCorrect entry; see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/AutoCorrect.htm. Alternatively, you
might find it sufficient just to have Word mark it as misspelled ("from"
would then probably be suggested as a correction); see
