What is AutoCorrect in PowerPoint 2007?

Related - AutoCorrect in PowerPoint (earlier versions)

AutoCorrect is a feature in PowerPoint 2007 that will automatically correct a common spelling error. You can also tailor it to use as a quick way to enter repetitive, lengthy phrases.

For Example - You work for the law firm of Wiggencottyl, Blountschoop and Hossenfeffer, and must type that name on the title slide of every PowerPoint presentation. It is very easy to make a mistake typing such a difficult set of names.

Set AutoCorrect to make a quick change for you after you type a few key letters.

  1. Click on the Office button in the top left corner of the PowerPoint 2007 window.

  2. Click on the PowerPoint Options button in the bottom of the dialog box.

  3. Select the Proofing option in the list and then click on the AutoCorrect Options... button.
