Today gone literally gone acronym crazy

The world today has gone literally gone crazy acronym. Every industry has its own plethora of acronyms to bamboozle the uninitiated. Acronyms are also often a source of great pain for the people who have to create procedure documents for their industry. There is a way to survive this turmoil through the AutoCorrect and it will certainly save you time.

AutoCorrect was originally developed by Microsoft to help the people who use Microsoft Office and Microsoft Word in particular overcoming writes questions, but it has also been salvation to those who work in an acronym world.

I hear you say it how!

An acronym is essentially short few characters who have a particular importance for example in Australia we have a concept called the Australian Business Number, which is an acronym ann. you were producing a lot of documents referring to the concept of Australian Business Number, you will find it takes time to make the whole name. In many cases it would be inappropriate to actually use the abbreviation. With AutoCorrect allows you to do is to program in the application of the concept of ABN and associate it with the full name of the Australian Business Number.

This means that when you type your documents and you need to refer to the concept of Australian Business number, simply write in ABN, and as you press the spacebar Microsoft Word will then convert the abbreviation for ABN Australian Business Number.

So why does it do?

As I mentioned before, AutoCorrect was really developed to overcome the problem of people mistyping words. Mostly as you write AutoCorrect check to see if what you write is true and if it will fix it with the options to the AutoCorrect list. Some of the common typos you may incur CNA would rather be. If you open Microsoft Word and write in CNA will automatically correct it to be.

AutoCorrect is actually available in all Microsoft Office programs including Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Publisher, Outlook and FrontPage. Now it's really cool about this is that if you setup an AutoCorrect feature in Microsoft PowerPoint to say, it will also be available in all the other programs. This means you will save time, both in the initial setup, but also while you are creating these documents.

If you think that once you've tried the example I gave you before, that it has not converted misspell words in the correct word is probably the AutoCorrect feature is turned off. To turn it in Microsoft Word 2003, just select the Tools menu and select AutoCorrect Options. You will see a checkbox next to the words "Replace text as you type". If the box has a tick next to it then you need to click once on the check box to activate it. Then finish the process by pressing the OK button.

There are three AutoCorrect entries which I think is absolutely necessary to know and that are how you can insert the logo, registered service mark and copyright symbol without using the symbol command. Everything you need to do is type the following --

(tm) - Creates logo

(c) - Creates Copyright symbol

(r) - Creates Registered Symbol

AutoCorrect is certainly one of the tools that I think is really cool, but is often misunderstood and not used to its full potential. Using AutoCorrect in this way will save you hours of time when dealing with abbreviations. It may take some time to create your acronyms, but when it’s finished, it will save you countless hours and make you more effective in using Microsoft Office suite.
