AutoCorrection works in Word but not Access

We recently upgraded to Office 2003. Our users in Fire Prevention have
several codes set up in AutoCorrect. They work in Word but in Access, after
the first or second code, they stop. Any suggestions?

We generally advise turning AutoCorrect off. It very often mangles good
data. Try typing "MU" (University of Michigan) for example and it will be
changed to "My"

Interesting how here in Canada, the abbreviations usually include "of"

The University of Toronto is usually referred to as "U of T", not "UT".

It is in the US too, but only in speech. When you see it written as an
abbreviation, only the acronym is used. Besides Canada doesn't count. <g, d,

Turning off AutoCorrect would defeat the purpose wouldn't it? I stated that
they had "several codes" set up. Maybe I should have said they have hundreds.
They want the AutoCorrect to work.

Big yellow letter M in logos, UM or U-M in print, UofM in speech.
