Using Autocorrect
Mike has no problems spelling. On the other hand, not a week goes by that he doesn't mutter to himself, "My job would be so much easier if I knew how to type." Autocorrect and text macros, its sister functions, have made his job much easier than in the days when he (sorta) learned how to type on an IBM Selectric with a jumbo bottle of correction fluid at the ready. Whether you don't spell well or don't type well, Autocorrect can be a lifesaver.If you're not familiar with the concept of Autocorrect, InCopy uses it to look over your shoulder as you type, and if it sees you type a word it knows to be misspelled, it corrects it immediately, without any involvement on your part. A word like danceing is corrected to dancing immediately. The list InCopy uses to make its Autocorrect corrections is in the Preferences dialog under Autocorrect (Figure 4.19).
Figure 4.19. InCopy hunts for words it should correct immediately because they're either misspellings or typos.
Chapter 2), the Autocorrect preferences do not get reset.Autocorrect might seem like a great way to let InCopy speed up your typing for you. Suppose you go to InCopy's Autocorrect preference file and add PM for Prime Minister into your Autocorrect settings. Now every time you're writing about a Prime Minister, you can type PM, and InCopy's Autocorrect will immediately replace your two letters with Prime Minister. A great idea, but InCopy's Autocorrect is always thinking in the lowercase. InCopy's Autocorrect assumes that anything you've typed in uppercase is a proper noun or an exception of some sort. That means that the next time you type PM in caps, nothing will happen. Worse still, when you put in the time of Prime Minister Blair's press conference as 3:30 pm, InCopy has no idea that your intentions are otherwise, and will replace pm with Prime Minister. But fear not: the workaround and savvier solution all around is to create text macros.
