How to customize Excel's AutoCorrect feature | Managers

Microsoft Excel is able to automatically correct several misspelled terms by mistake, thanks to the AutoCorreo feature. Thus, cells with a ", tdo" or nono "can be changed to sem, whole and ours, respectively. However, what appears to be an advantage, can hinder acronyms and abbreviations.

Integrated with the main software configurations, the AutoCorrect system can have some of its functions deactivated, as well as receive new terminology to correct. Check out how to access this tool in Excel and what are the main customization options that can be enabled or disabled in the following tutorial.
