Word 97 Macro autocorrect help

[Genericname1111]

Hi, using word 97 at work and was wondering can you trigger autocorrect in a Macro? The reason I want to do this is because in the documents I use at work I often use macros to insert strings (e.g. three dashes, like: "- - -") that don't trigger autocorrect for the preceding bit of text. I thought I could fix this by altering the macro to add and delete a space after the word so that autocorrect would be triggered, but then I realised that autocorrect doesn't work while I'm recording or activating a macro.


Thanks.
