But don't use just "Qu" for Qualifab, or you'll have to undo it every
time you want to type another word starting with Qu. Use something like Qf or qf, which is unlikely to turn up anywhere else.

I invariably use a # symbol for such autocorrect entries. #qu would work or
#q to retain two key strokes. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Stefan Blom wrote: Good point.

Given my hit-or-miss accuracy for any character (especially shifted ones) on
the top row, I would never use #. As it is, one of my clients is always having to point out my typos of, say, 105 for 10% or 410 for $10. -- Suzanne S.

I tested this because I have never noticed AutoCorrect working this
way. I added Qualifab with "qu" as the Replace word. I can type quit, quiet, queen, question, etc., without AutoCorrect changing those words to Qualifab. You must press the spacebar immediately after "qu" to get Qualifab. What am I missing here? Cheryl On Sep 4, 6:23*am, "Peter T.

That's the beauty of a UK pattern keyboard. # is on the middle row
unshifted, next to the enter key.  It doesn't matter what key you choose as log as it is not one that you would ordinarily type before q -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.

You are missing the fact that Peter didn't test the premise before posting.

No, he was just repeating advice he's often read here. What, then, is
the point of prefacing each AutoCorrect key with "#"? (Someone else recommends ";" as a prefix.) "Qf" is a better mnemonic for "Qualifab" than "#Qu" is.

I have never seen advice here along the lines of qu always changing
any word that begins with qu to something else you have in AutoCorrect. This advice would mean that you can never use the first two letters of any word as your Replace word. I have advised using a semicolon as a prefix when you want to add hyphenated words to something like a number, such as 4-year-old. The semicolon (as well as other punctuation marks) forces Word to back up and replace the space after 4 with the hyphen (in Word 2000 and later). This also works for cc: where Word automatically capitalizes the first c. Using ;c as your Replace word for cc: will force Word to back up and automatically change the uppercase c to lowercase.

I believe several people in this thread, including myself, have been
confusing AutoCorrect with the AutoComplete suggestion for *AutoText* (which exists in Word 97-2003). It is strange, since AutoText was never mentioned in the thread.

I am sure that there are others, but the word that first comes to mind
starting with QU is Quit. An example would be "Quit posting in threads that are out of your range." That advice is in keeping with the goals and objective statement number 2: 2. Post when and wherever you like, but stay in your range of expertise. Always be open to the ideas and suggestion of others. If you venture outside your range then try to be correct. -- Greg Maxey See my web site http://gregmaxey.mvps.org for an eclectic collection of Word Tips. "Peter T. Daniels" wrote in message ...

Peter,
Penalty flag is down again. Remember goals and objective statement number 3. 3. Stop posting your opinions as statements of fact. If you think something is easy or if you prefer one method to another then say so in that manner. Stop insisting or trying to prove that your ways are always best, easiest, fastest, etc. Let others decided for themselves what is easiest between a set of given options and decide for themselves if the effort/advantage of pursuing one approach justifies taking that approach over another. -- Greg Maxey See my web site http://gregmaxey.mvps.org for an eclectic collection of Word Tips.
