Configuring AutoCorrect

AutoCorrect has remained fairly consistent in terms of its configuration and function, and in Word 2013 it still automatically corrects commonly misspelled words, including words that you add to it. It also corrects issues such as initial caps, automatically capitalizes the first letter of the first word in a sentence, and automatically capitalizes the names of days of the week.
