Isn’t it in options under proofing? For me options comes up as one of those boxes with headings you can left and right arrow to and then go down into them.

I’ve tried doing this as well/knowing how to do it. My MS Word is screwed up somehow/I type an ‘ and get a word I’ve previously put into auto-correct but have since deleted. However, I cannot get the issue to stop/happens when I press space after ‘ symbols or some others and is really annoying. The only way I know how to stop it is to press the undo command immediately after the odd word is placed into my documents. This happens with any Microsoft product, other than mail, of course/have to use Onedrive to properly type at times.

I wonder if you might need to call Microsoft accessibility and see if they can help?

Like I said on a previous thread, calling the Microsoft Disability Answer Desk does not work for me. I'm not fast enough with voice over to complete the automization code. So I get timed out. I have to use chat, and even they don't know what's going on. I still
haven't heard anything from the higher tech people. Where they sent my messages.

Plus, Right now I don't have time to jump around and figure out what's going on. I'm in school, in a semester with tough assignments, so I'll just use OneDrive if I need to type something along. , or just use the undo command as I said previously.
