Microsoft® Office Access™ 2007 Plain & Simple

Entering Data Using AutoCorrect

When you enter data into a table, Access examines what you type and corrects any common spelling errors it knows about. You can also add your own AutoCorrect values to streamline data entry—for example, you could have Access recognize the abbreviation sarsp and replace it with sarsaparilla.
