By turning on Autocorrect, you can allow capitalization errors and common typing mistakes to be replaced while you
type. Before Autocorrect will work, you must create a list of commonly misspelled words and associate them with the
correct spelling.

Choose Edit > Preferences > Autocorrect (Windows) or InCopy > Preferences > Autocorrect (Mac OS).
2
Choose Enable Autocorrect. (You can also choose Edit > Spelling > Autocorrect to turn this feature on or off
quickly.)
3
From the Language menu, choose which language the autocorrections are applied to.

To correct capitalization errors (such as typing “germany” instead of “Germany”), select Autocorrect Capitalization
Errors. You don’t need to add the capitalized words to the list of autocorrections.
