Can I apply auto-formatting to text in the same manner as Auto Cor

[DBishop]

I want to apply an automatic format to text I enter (for example, I want e.g.
to be italicized). How do I do this in Word?

Format the text as you want it, select it, create an AutoCorrect entry, and
click the Formatted Text option button in the AutoCorrect dialog before you
click the Add button.

AutoCorrect. Look this up in help. It is under the tools menu.
