Hi Vickie,

In microsoft word when i mispell a word example (y9ou) it does not correct
it, any ideas?

Which version of Word do you have?

As a general rule, Word won't necessarily CORRECT misspelled words; it will
mark them with a wavy red underline. Are you seeing that? If not, does Word
pick up such words if you press F7 to explicitly force a spell check?

Also check: Tools Options, the Spelling & Grammar tab and uncheck Ignore
words with numbers.

Further, if you frequently mispell that particular word, you can add it to
your AutoCorrect listing (Tools/AutoCorrect).
