4. Make the desired changes to the file.

Note

There are specific criteria governing the word pairs eligible for Autocorrect. The initial word added should not exist in the default dictionarydictionaries, enabling our proofreader to identify it as a misspelling. Conversely, the replacement word must be present in one of the dictionaries: default language dictionary, user or company custom dictionary. Our Autocorrect mechanism strictly suggests valid words as corrections. Also, make sure that the following is true:

  • Check that misspelling and correction are words (not phrases and e.t.c.);
  • Check that misspelling are lowercase (to exclude names, e.t.c.) (For German we allow first capital letter only);
  • Check that misspelling do not have numbers or dots;
  • Check that size of misspelling word >= 3.

5. Save the modified file.
