I make extensive use of AutoCorrect in Outlook 2010.

My favourite use of the Autocorrect is as a way to automatically type commonly used phrases in your emails.

E.g. I have an auto correct so that whenever I type "ilf", Outlook replaces it with "I look forward to hearing from you."

This saves me a lot of time and also prevents unnecessary errors when typing common phrases. (h and j are next to each other on the keyboard and I have sent out several emails saying "I look forward to jearing from you")

instead of the alt(hold)0169(release) sequence, you can get the copyright symbol by typing a9 followed by alt-x

That works too -- thanks for the alternate method!
Most dictionaries allow you to add words for the spell checking functionality. I wish you could remove words too.

How often do you actually have to use the word manger? Of course, I often drop the middle "a" in manager. The spell checker blightely accepts the misspelling.
Or even "blithely" - sorry, couldn't resist that one happy

My favourite way of dealing with oddball Autocorrects is to put a / in front of the replace item. So, I use /mb to insert Mike Boardman, and I can still use mb or MB if I want.

Apparently not all dictionaries carry the words preferred by Canadian users.
