auto correct turn off

[Eric]

How can I PERMANENTLY turn off certain auto correct
options? I HATE the auto list correction, and would like
to have it never be on.

Thanks!

Tools > Autocorrect (or Autocorrect Options)
click on the AutoFormat as you type tab

Uncheck the ones you don't want. (I uncheck all of the middle section.)

I suspect you're referring to AutoFormat rather than AutoCorrect. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TameAutoFormat.htm. For AutoCorrect,
you can delete specific entries that you don't want to use, and there are
also several AutoCorrect options that can be turned off.
