Applying autocorrections to a whole document at once

[Guest]

Say I have a document (WD97) which hasn't been autocorrected (either because
it's an older document and I have added many autocorrections since it was
created or because it comes from someone else).

Is there a way to have all my current autocorrections applied
*automatically* to this whole document at once (without of course doing it by
hand which would entail typing Enter after each word) ?

Thanks,

JPhB

No, there's no provision in Word for something like this. Find/Replace would be
the closest thing. If you have a lot of documents you want to process, you could
record the steps in a macro (or write one).
