Automatically Autocorrect Management

With the functionalities of Autocorrect Management, this is done automatically when you open Word and affects the other Office programs. The functionalities need to be referred to from the events folder of OfficeExtensions as follows:

...OfficeExtensions\Modules\events\BaseExtension.xml

Within the BaseExtension.xml the following script needs to be added.

XML
<event type="BaseExtensions:NewDocument" showInPowerPoint="true" showInExcel="true" showInOutlook="true">
<Cmd case="BaseExtensions:autocorrect-entries" Name="2" Value="1" IANA="3"/>
</event>

Replace the numbers 1,2,3 with the following:

1) Replace 1 in Value="1" with the shortcut the user enter, e.g. SD.

2) Replace 2 in Name="2" with the word the shortcut should replace, e.g. SkabelonDesign.

3) Replace 3 in IANA="3" with the language in which the correction should be executed, e.g. in English, the IANA code is wdEnglishUK. Click here to see a list of Language IDs.
