What is AutoCorrect in PowerPoint?

Related - AutoCorrect in PowerPoint 2007

AutoCorrect is a feature in PowerPoint 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.

Choose Tools > AutoCorrect Options... from the menu.
