An AutoCorrect entry doesn't take effect until you type a space or
punctuation character after it. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

How can I get two auto corrections in a row to work?
In Word 97 I used an auto correction for "veh" to replace to "vehicle". I
also had an autocorrect for "/" to replace with "?". When I typed "veh" and then "?" simultaneouly, "veh" would be corrected to "vehicle" and "/" would be corrected to "?" (so it would be vehicle?) In Word 2002, "veh" stays as "veh", but "/" gets corrected to "?" (so it is veh?). Why won't the same things work in Word 2002 as it did in Word 97?

I think you mistyped something in your description, but I gather that
you actually typed "veh/" and got "vehicle?" as a result. I don't have Word 97 any more, so I can't confirm that it worked there. You're correct that it doesn't work that way in Word 2002. I don't see any way to make it work. Why did it change? I have no idea -- you'd have to ask the development team at Microsoft. I've met them, and they're talented and friendly, but they don't necessarily tell the world everything they change between versions or why they did it. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
