Disable AutoCorrect Options dialog box

[Peej.Phoenix]

Hello,

I try to limit user access using Word template. One of the issue is
limiting access to AutoCorrect Options dialog box. Currently, our
users can right click on misspelled words and choose AutoCorrect-

AutoCorrect Options... from a shortcut menu. I did not see this menu

listed in Customize->Toolbars->ShortCut Menus either. Is there a way
to suppress the AutoCorrect Options dialog box using VBA?

Thank you,

Why do you want to limit user access to a valuable user function? It doesn't
make any sense at all, unless you are trying to share normal.dot - You
cannot share the Normal.dot file among multiple users in Word
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=811468 .

In any case not all autocorrect entries are stored in the template, some are
stored in ACL files in the user profile.

We use Word as an authoring tool for our custom application. We
already have a custom function that does similar tasks to the
autocorrect options. Thus, we do not need the autocorrect feature in
Word. If users still can bring up autocorrect options dialog and
change Word autocorrect settings, it could disrupt our application.
