Default Autocorrect and wild cards

Hello,

I have a long list of doctors names that I have in autocorrect. This is used to add the doctors credentials after his/her name when typed. Example: John Smith is autocorrected to John Smith, MD. Occasionally I get names in my document that say John L. Smith. This example will of course not automatically change due to the "L." Is there a way to have autocorrect over look the "L." and complete the change in this instance?

Thanks

Unfortunately, no. AutoCorrect changes a specific entry into a different
specific entry.

Perhaps you could make use of Find and Replace after typing the document?
