How to Locate and Display AutoCorrect Options in MS Word

AutoCorrect options are not displayed by default on MS Word ribbon. And when you search for them, they’re not intuitively easy to find either.

Here’s how to locate and display the AutoCorrect options and add a link to your QUICK ACCESS TOOLBAR for easy future access:

1) Click File >  Options to display the Word Options screen.

2) Click and display the CUSTOMIZE RIBBON group of options.

3) Select the “Commands Not in the Ribbon” option from the drop-down command menu.

4) Select “AutoCorrect Options”.

5) Select a tab from the drop down menu. Then click the New Group button to add a new group to that tab.

6) Click the Add button to add the AutoCorrect options to that tab as a new group.
