 Type
abbreviations and use autocorrect to finish words for you
If you write all the time like me you will love
this little trick. Well its not a trick, I am just using autocorrect in
Microsoft Word to my advantage. I am going to show you how to make Word
translate your text abbreviations you use into finished words. Yes, Word is
going to finish or complete the words that I am going to write. Why would I want
to write a word like abbreviations when I can simply put abb and then press the
space bar. The finished word will appear for me.
