4.6.7 Document Editing Tips

 Hello everyone, 

To me, editing is important and on this topic, I learned how to add words to the AutoCorrect dictionary. For example, when I got married to my husband he has a very unique last name: ''Apolinar''. It always comes up spelled incorrectly when checking my spelling and grammar. I never knew there was a way to add my name to the dictionary.

  1. Yes, there is definitely a way to add new words to Microsoft Office's dictionary. Glad you learned about it so autocorrect won't treat is as a possible typo :-)

  2. Thanks for bringing this up because this completely slipped my mind. I'm just too used to backspacing and retyping when it autocorrects, but I will definitely start utilizing this to save time.

  3. I feel exactly how you think! Sometimes Chinese surnames and names are plagued by autocorrection.

  4. Yes, that is a very nice feature to use. I use this quite often when I take notes, I make a lot of abbreviations to make it faster to take notes and not see a bunch of red lines telling me the word is incorrect.
