Hi,
Some of our NZ Maori words have a macron over the letter. I have set this
up in autocorrect and it works well until I create a form and the autocorrect
no longer works.

any ideas?

Thanks
Yvonne

Hi Yvonne,

I don't think you can make the AutoCorrects work in Forms.

You might give the users a list of the codes, so they can type them =
using Alt (with NumLock on):
=C4=81 =3D Alt+257
=C4=93 =3D Alt+275
=C4=AB =3D Alt+299
=C5=8D =3D Alt+333
=C5=AB =3D Alt+363

And/or you could let them type the AutoCorrects they are used to, and =
replace them with the correct letters later when you get the text out of =
the Form.

Greetings,
Klaus

Hi Klaus,

I don't think you can make the AutoCorrects work in Forms.

Depends on the kind of form, and the version of Word.
AutoCorrect will work in form fields (from the Forms
toolbar) in the newer versions of Word. Although sometimes
it needs a bit of a "kick" (it's in the KB).
