Well gee whiz, David, thanks but I just couldn't find it!! I clicked on Tools when I first brought up Microsoft Word, but could not find "AutoCorrect" . I am using Windows XP, could it be called something else? I am usually leary of clicking on all those words at the top like Compatability, View, etc. but I got brave and clicked on everything I saw! Well, there was no earthquake and the world didn't stop whirling so I guess I didn't do anything wrong, but apparently didn't do anything right either!! Any other suggestions?
