# 7.6. Autocorrection

Auto correction is a system for correcting common typing errors, converting abbreviations to their full spelling and adjusting capitalization. As you could guess from its name, this all occurs automatically, while you are editing your document.

To adjust the options for auto correction, select Extra->Autocorrection... from the Menu bar

A dialog window appears to help you set your options.

## 7.6.1. Simple Autocorrection

Replace Quotes by Typographical Quotes

  When selected, this option will replace the standard keyboard quotes, with typographical quotation marks. If you want to change the quotation character, click on one of the buttons.

Convert the first letter from the first word of a sentance automatically to uppercase

  When selected, KWord will automatically capitalize the first letter after a period.

Convert two Upper Case letters to one Upper Case and one Lower Case letter

  When selected, KWord will automatically convert a double capital letter (a common typographical error), into a single capital letter.

## 7.6.2. Advanced Autocorrection

To switch to the Advanced Autocorrection, click on the tab labled "Advanced Autocorrection".

Not completely implemented yet!

Currently, however, KWord will automatically make the 4 replacements listed in the dialog box above. At this point, you cannot add, delete or edit these entries.
