Exclamation Turn off Autocorrect for Single Document


Suppose I want to turn off Autocorrect altogether for a SINGLE document in Microsoft Word 2016. As in, just that document, and absolutely no others. Any new document I create from that point onward should still have Autocorrect turned on by default. All other documents I have made in the past should still have Autocorrect turned on by default. I literally just want to turn it off for one single solitary .docx file. Is this possible? If so, how?

It is not practical.

Any solution would involve very intrusive macros which could be switched off by the user and very buggy. If it worked, it would likely result in AC being turned off for all documents at some point.

Automated Boilerplate Using Microsoft Word

By AutoCorrect, do you mean spelling correction? If so, that can be done relatively easily without macros. However the user could override it.
