I made an AutoCorrect rule with *1 C => *1 °C but it takes the asterisk literally and doesn't change e.g. 21 C to 21 °C. Why isn't it treating the asterisk as a wildcard?
You are mixing up how to eat an apple with how to eat a pineapple. The same methods don't really work on different fruit.

AutoCorrect does not use the wildcard rules which are for the Find and Replace function, not part of Autocorrect. As stated previously, you will need a separate rule for each digit.

Using the AutoCorrect Backup/Restore utilities you can easily make numerous similar rules by copying and editing them in the backup document and then doing a restore.
