How do I put AutoCorrect on the toolbar?

[Jeannie]

Is there some way to add a button for AutoCorrect so I don't have to use the
pull down menu every time? I used to use WordPerfect and as soon as I
selected text, the button for QuickWords became visible. Thanks for any help.

A macro with this one line:

Word.Dialogs(wdDialogToolsAutoCorrect).Show

assigned to a toolbar button (do you know how to do that?)

The macro isn't necessary. Just open the Tools > Customize dialog to
the Commands tab. In the Categories list, click Tools. In the Commands
list, find "AutoCorrect..." (or, in Word 2002 or 2003, "AutoCorrect
Options") and drag it to the toolbar. Close the dialog and you're
done.

You're right Jay.

The macro would be if you only wanted to see the Autocorrect tab, not
the whole dialog box with all 6 tabs.

I have two buttons on my toolbar, one for the whole dialog box, done
per your directions, and one that uses a one line macro that will
always display the Autotext tab:

Word.Dialogs(wdDialogEditAutoText).Show

because I want one-click access to that dialog box no matter which
tab was active when I last closed Autocorrect.

Little stuff like that makes me happy <g>

If you want the AutoText dialog, why aren't you using the InsertAutoText
command?
