Autocorrect word list

[Guest]

I spelled "wreless" and the autocorrect corrected it to "wireless". I looked
in the autocorrect "Replace" list and "wreless" was not listed, nor was its
corresponding correct spelling "wireless" listed in the "With" list.

So my question is: (Within the Autocorrect dialog box) If a misspelled word
is not in the autocorrect "Replace" list and its correct spelling is not in
the "With" list, how does Word know what to autocorrect ( or replace) the
misspelled word with?

In Tools | AutoCorrect, there is a little box for "automatically use
suggestions from the spelling checker." Sounds like that is checked on
your machine.
