Can you create multiple AutoCorrect rules for the same phrase in different cases?
Hi,
I use AutoCorrect to replace "SA" with the phrase "Shawenim Abinoojii." I have a rule for "SA" that works perfectly. The problem I'm having is that sometimes, I don't hold the shift key down properly, so instead of typing "SA" I type "Sa." AutoCorrect doesn't change "Sa" - it does nothing. I'd like to create a rule so that both "SA" and "Sa" AutoCorrect to "Shawenim Abinoojii," but AutoCorrect won't let me. If I type "Sa" into the 'Replace' field, it brings up the "SA" rule, and won't let me create another. Is there a way around this? Is it possible to do what I'm hoping for? Thank you!

Investigate the third party application PhraseExpress, which will do this and more (for all applications).

Thanks, gmayor, but I don't want to have to buy a separate program for something as basic as this. That seems extreme. Can Excel not do this on its own? That really surprises me, if so.
Even if I wanted to spend money on a problem like this, my company probably wouldn't let me install it. I work on a virtual desktop, and it's strictly maintained by our remote IT staff. |

I would suggest changing your trigger entry name to sa1 and skipping the use of the shift key. |
