Microsoft Word has an option called “AutoCorrect” that automatically fixes certain spelling errors when you type. Well, Word doesn’t really know what is an error unless you tell it what an error is. And, if you decide that typing your initials is an error, when you really meant to type your name – you can have Word change this! In fact, you could have Word change the phrase “MyWebPage” to “http://www.mypage.com” if you’d like.

To do so, choose “Tools” and then “AutoCorrect.” In the dialog box, type in what text you want to replace, and the resulting text of the replacement. Chose “OK” to close the dialog box.
