Default autocorrect parentheses

It happens because I am a bad typist. I hit the spacebar after typing an
opening paren. I want Word to autocorrect it for me.

Why is the space being added in the first place? If it is added by Word, the
underlying cause might be an incorrect (?) language setting, since
punctuation behaves differently depending on the language applied to text.

In other words, it might be easier to specify the appropriate language in
the text than to get rid of a space via AutoCorrect.

I am trying to create an autocorrect to remove the space after a parentheses.
In other words I want to replace a ( and a space with just (. However, when I
go to autocorrect, the Add button will not enable when I do this.
