Auto Correction – if Word is not capitalizing the first word and correct other suggestions automatically, then click on “AutoCorrect Options…” button. If none of the above steps work, send us an email and we’d be happy to help you further. In rare cases a reinstall may be necessary.

It is possible you are trying to misspell a word that is cannot be corrected intelligently and is not in the AutoCorrect list.

If this all happens then Global AutoCorrect is running.Ĭlick on the start menu at the bottom left of your screen, select “Programs –> Global AutoCorrect” and click “Global AutoCorrect”. If you right-click on this then a menu should appear with options such as “Open Global AutoCorrect” and “Add an AutoCorrect”. There should be a icon in the bottom-right corner of your screen (in the “system tray”). Check Global AutoCorrect is still running.
