Excel Tip of the Day
Making the most of the Auto Correction feature in Excel (97)
Are you a bad typist? Don't be shy--we know there are a few of you out there. Well, Excel has a feature for you: the Auto Correct feature. To access this feature, select the Tools | AutoCorrect menu bar option. This will bring up the AutoCorrect dialog box. Your insertion point will be positioned in the box entitled Replace. Simply type the wrong word in this section. For instance, you can type "paralel" in this box. Now, press [Tab] to go to the box entitled With, and in this box type "parallel". As soon as you enter data into the With box, you'll notice that the Add button becomes available. Click this button. You're done. You can add all your favorite mistakes so they'll automatically be corrected for you. If you make a mistake entering the data in either the Replace or With text boxes, select the entry in the list and click Delete. When you're done making changes in the AutoCorrect dialog box, click OK to exit.
