Why isn't autocorrect working on two initial capital letters?
I have my autocorrect settings set to change two initial caps to only
capitalize the first letter. But the word "STrymon" (the name of a river in Macedonia) doesn't get changed to "Strymon." I looked in my autocorrect exceptions and there was nothing about allowing this word to remain uncorrected (the only entry I have in the exceptions for initial caps is the term "IDs"). Is there any reason why this isn't being changed---and what do I have to do to get Word 2002 to change these initial two capital letters? |

Never mind. I just changed it myself, and the red (spell check) line
was still there. After inserting "Strymon" into my dictionary, I then checked it--and Word dutifully changed STrymon to Strymon. OK that mystery is solved--evidently Word has to have a word in the dictionary, to change the initial two caps. Is this correct? |

Sort of. What it amounts to is that AutoCorrect doesn't work on "misspelled"
words because the spelling correction is considered the first priority and/or because Word may say to itself, "I don't know this word, so for all I know the user may WANT to have it written this way." In many cases, this would be true. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "PRR" wrote in message ... Never mind.
