shut off Auto Correct for Word, Outlook, Excel but not Access ?
My company is using an Access based program. We use an Auto Correct file
(*.acl) to post entries: e.g. TT = TELEPHONE TO, CW = CONFERENCE WITH. The problem is that we want these codes to function only when using Access. People are upset when using Outlook or Word and they type in letter combinations and get posting code entries. No one wants to have to keep turning the "replace text as you type" function on and off as we change MS programs. Can I shut off the AutoCorrect function "replace text as you type" in all but Access? Alternatively, is the a way to use different *.acl files in each program: Access, Word, Outlook, etc.? Help !!!! I have a lot of angry people here. |

shut off Auto Correct for Word, Outlook, Excel but not Access
Maybe I misunderstood, question...
Can I shut off the AutoCorrect function "replace text as you type" in all but Access? Yes you can as it is set per program. If you are trying to do it globally I know of no way to do that. In Word and Excel, got to Tools AutoCorrect Already told you where in Access but you don't want to shut it off there. Are you using Outlook or Outlook Express probably in the same place there also. If that is still not what you want then please provide a clearer question. -- Gina Whipp 2010 Microsoft MVP (Access) "I feel I have been denied critical, need to know, information!" - Tremors II http://www.regina-whipp.com/index_files/TipList.htm "m galvin" wrote in message ...

Gina,
I soooooooooo embrassed. All this time I thought that setting Auto Correct was global. You were correct with your original answer. I can't tell you how happy I am now to realize this. Thanks, Malcolm PS: Is there anyway to have different *.acl files being used by the different programs? |
