Autocorrect for just one document
You can save AutoText entries to a specific template, but not AutoCorrect
entries. What version of Word are you using? -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Angila" wrote in message ...

Well, here is my dilima, I only want this specific autocorrect for just this document only, is that possible? I opened a blank document and typed in my code and it was there. The short answer is no. Unformatted AutoCorrect entries are stored in files with an .acl extension and are available in all Office programs. Formatted AutoCorrect entries, which apply only to Word, are stored in the Normal.dot or Normal.dotm template; they're available in all documents. There is no provision for limiting the scope of the entries to any specific document or group of documents. If you use AutoText instead of AutoCorrect (http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...n/AutoText.htm) you can store them in a specific template; if you then attach that template to your specific document (and only that document), those entries will be limited to the one document. In Word versions up to 2003, AutoText can display a prompt after you type enough characters of its name to be unique, and pressing Enter will then insert the entry. The prompt doesn't appear in Word 2007; but in any version pressing F3 will insert the entry. -- 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. |
