Excel automatically changes order of letters

sm2200 · May 4th, 2002, 10:42 AM

When I type in a stock symbol such as "ADN", Excel will automatically change it to "AND", or when I type "T" excel changes it to "Type in"
How can I eliminate this automatic changing to other terms ?

Thanks

Hi
Choose tools, autocorrect.
Clear the checkmark in the
"Replace text as you type"
checkbox.

And/Or to disable correcting ADN to AND goto Tools_Autocorrect Options and find the ADN in Replace box and delete it. It will stop trying to correct it.

This is necessary if you want to have autocorrection for other words.
