What is ‘Autocorrect’?

The autocorrect feature automatically corrects common typing errors as you type. As well as correcting typos, it can capitalise the first letter of sentences, correct the accidental usage of the cAPS lOCK kEY and errors such as TWo INitial CAps. The two initial caps correction only works if the word typed is in the dictionary anything else will be treated as an abbreviation and ignored. To test this feature type ‘teh’ and press <Space>. Word presumes you meant to type ‘the’ and changes your spelling accordingly.

How do I know if I have any errors?
