Model answer

AutoCorrect in MS-Word automatically fixes common typing mistakes and expands shortcuts as you type — e.g. teh → the, (c) → ©.

Configuration (Word): File → Options → Proofing → AutoCorrect Options → AutoCorrect tab.

Settings you control:

Correct TWo INitial CApitals / Caps Lock misuse — Tick to auto-fix sentence case.
Replace text as you type — Table of pairs. Example: add Replace mbl With mobile. Now typing mbl + space inserts mobile — useful for long office phrases like ddc → District Administration Office.
Math/capitalization exceptions — Add abbreviations (e.g. No.) that should not trigger new-sentence caps.
Nepali use: Add Roman → Unicode shortcuts for frequent terms, but verify spelling — AutoCorrect cannot catch contextual errors, only listed pairs. Pair with Spelling/Grammar check and Thesaurus for full proofing.
