Auto Correct Feature

[Big Rick]

Hello Folks
When using the auto correct feature for the words CAFE, Cafe, or cafe,
Publisher will automatically correct this to CAFÈ, Café, or café. However
there is only one entry (cafe to café) in the autocorrect list.
When typing in my own words into autocorrect, such as Pate, is there a way
to automatically have the autocorrect change regardless of the way it is
capitalised, or does it have to be entered multiple times.
Whilst I realise that this is no great hardship for one word as it would
only have to be done once, mistakes can be made when using new words that
need the ' (whatever that is called) on the e.

Your help is and always has been very much appreciated.
Thanking you in anticipation.

Add it in all lowercase, and it should work for the three options you
list. It does in Publisher 2007, anyway. I don't have earlier versions
installed to test at the moment.

Have you tried to do an autocorrect? If you type pate in the *Replace:* and pâté
in the *With:*, it will replace as you type. (c alt+0226 f alt+0233). The word
will autocorrect no matter if it is all capitals or starts with a capital.

Many thanks once again to you both.
I had been going wrong by typing the replace word as PATE. It does work
correctly by typing it in lower case.
In Pub 2003 (in my version anyway, which I know that I should of informed
you of in the first place !) it would only autocorrect if the capitalisation
was as typed in the first instance.

I bow to your superiority.

If you noticed I spelled pate all wrong. Well not quite all wrong. The a and e
were right but there is not a c or f in pate...

Thanks for posting back, Big Rick, it is appreciated.
