Autocorrect in Excel

To avoid frequently occurring errors, you csn use the Autocorrect feature in Excel. Words that you want to be automatically corrected can be added to the Autocorrect list. This makes it easier to avoid recurring errors. If a term is requested in a partial dictionary, the editor of the central dictionary has the option to make corrections and thus include terms in the Autocorrect. You have two options for including terms in the Autocorrect:

• You can adapt terms in the "Request terms" dialogue with the function "Edit requested terms". You can adapt both languages.
  
  

	Note
	If you work with the "Edit requested terms" function and only edit the translation, you will receive a note that the requested term is currently being requested. Accordingly, if you want to include the term in the Autocorrect, you must make changes to the source language.

• You can replace terms in the "Request terms" dialogue with existing terms from the central dictionary. Both the term in the source language and its translation are exchanged.
