Then, with it still selected create an AutoCorrect entry named frsno. You will want this to be a formatted entry. Whenever you want to use fresno rather than Fresno, use the short form AutoCorrect trigger without the e.

Automated Boilerplate Using Microsoft Word

Either I don't understand formatted entry or typing frsno and letting it autocorrect to fresno doesn't solve my problem; it does add more work but Word still flags an error and I have to click 'ignore once' each time I rewrite, change or correct within that sentence. It is still better than proofreading but

BEGIN RANT
I can and do add words all the time; a word like Los as in Los Vegas, Nevada. It doesn't do it with golden while there is a Golden in Colorado - it does it with Kleenex because that trademark is still valid but the term fresno has been used as a generic term since the 1890s and in the west could be anything from a Caterpillar horse drawn road grader to a traditional 5' dump Fresno scraper; that use is not capitalized like a crescent wrench should be as the patent holder Crescent Tool Company still holds the trademark. I feel any word should be able to override like when I writing about a caterpillar referring to the larva of a butterfly or moth.
