Auto correct spelling

[smokeycat]

After following instructions for setting this up (Edit > Preferences > Autocorrect), it still doesn't work. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Smokey

It works for me...

It's more for people who type alot

It won't work for existing type, only words you are actually typing.

You have to set up all the incorrect words along with their correct spelling.

for existing words, make sure you have this set up in your preferences:

Then you can simply right click on the red underlined words like this:

Hope this helps...

Marcus,
Thanks for that. I got that much to work, but I had thought that like in Word, for instance, commonly misspelt words like hte(the) adn(and) etc. would change automatically as you type..... are those the type of words you're suggesting I would have to set up manually first?

Yes, if they are not in the list of misspelled words

those options are in the AutoCorrect, just below the Spelling.

And personally I leave it turned off. I hate the way Word assumes what word I mean to put in. Of course a spell check well all is done, but auto correct can be diasatorous sometimes.
