Re: 2007 Spell Checker question

How about using autocorrect to replace wont and cant with won't and can't? If for some reason you need wont and cant, hit ctrl+z to undo the autocorrection.

Hi all,

I have a version of Office 2007 which includes Outlook 2007. The only real beef I have with it is that if I type the word "wont" or "cant" within a letter without an apostrophe, spell check does the right thing and wants to put an apostrophe in it. However, the option to "change all" is greyed out and if I have two or more "wont" or "cant" with no apostrophe, then I have to keep changing all individually.

Is there any way to correct this so it will allow me to correct ALL occurrences again? Prior to Office 2007 and Vista, I had XP and Outlook 2002 with spell checking from Word 2000. It worked just fine back then. Thanks....
