That's why the first sentence of the post includes these words "... I use auto-correct in Word ..." You had me worried for a minute - I had to go back and re-read the post to be sure I hadn't left that out. :-) It wouldn't be the first time I made such a mistake. I do NOT recommend Word's grammar check - I've written other posts on this, and spell check has to be used with caution, but auto-correct generally works well. I’m talking about Word as well.

Another thing that might help you for words that you don't have in auto-correct is find/replace. You can search for a specific word and specify "whole word only" and "case-sensitive" (something close to that if it's not the exact words used) and "find next." Don't use "replace all" unless you're 100% sure there aren't any other usages that would be wrong with the replacement! The mistake wasn't intentional ... and I don't see it, yet. What did I do?
