It cannot be done through the AutoCorrect dialog. You'll need a macro. And in
order to provide the macro, I'd need more information: How is your Excel
worksheet laid out? Are the items to be replaced in the first column, with the
replacement on the same row in the second column? Is there a header row? Are all
the replacements to be unformatted ("plain text")?
