Provide means of autocorrecting in any context.
Autocorrect works only if the text to be replaced is preceded by a space.
There should be a way to specify replacement no matter what the context. I want to replace the digit zero with the character Alt-216 (Capital O with slash) as I type, in the middle or end of a number. It apparently works only if the zero is preceded by a space. I'd like to see a checkbox associated with each "replace text with" list entry, to specify "replace in any context." Thanks. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

You can enter a space as part of the text to be replaced. "Replace" would
then search for [space] 0. Be sure to enter a space in the "with" box also. "Mr.Mike" wrote in message ... Autocorrect works only if the text to be replaced is preceded by a space.

If you always want to do this, I can suggest a better approach. First of
all, don't use glyph 00D8 (the character 216 you refer to); it is wider than a zero and won't align properly in numeric text. Instead, create a slashed zero using an EQ \o field (see the "Other applications" section of http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Overbar.htm). Save the field as an AutoText entry, and assign 0 as the shortcut key for this entry. Keep in mind that calculations performed on numbers so typed may not be correct. -- Suzanne S.
