I know the capitalization won't work following quotation marks. I know there's a space, since OO flags the lack of space by marking it as a spelling error. I haven't kept track of exactly which letter combinations seem to trigger the failure in AutoCorrect but remember one is with 'it's' - it seems to be more of a problem with any word starting with 'i'. Otherwise the function work pretty good - the only other issue I have is that I have an autocorrect set on a couple of names I use regularly (I'm too lazy to capitalize them all the time) and this works great, unless I want to use the possessive as in David's, then it won't capitalize it. Instead it flags it as an error. If I then Add it the dictionary it makes no difference, it still refuses to capitalize it. I've just taken to entering the name, then spacing back one to add the 's.
It's just odd little glitches I notice, nothing that would make me run out an buy Microsoft. :-) Pat On Dec 26, 2007 11:57 AM, Brian Barker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > At 11:05 26/12/2007 -0500, Pat Brown wrote: > >I have a relatively minor problem with the AutoCorrect feature.
