Remember my corrections in Word, document after document.

[Guest]

I am an editor and I fix the same mistakes document after document after
document. I use the track changes option as well. What would be nice is to
have a feature that would remember things that I edit. For example, if the
writter uses the word Additionally, I would type in (Additionally or Moreover
or Futhermore). It would be nice if Word could remember these kinds of
corrections for me, so that it could automatically add this to other
documents I edit, in the format I wanted it to, and even add them in sevearl
places throughout the paper if I specificed. This would save me a lot of
time in editing the same things over and over again in the hundreds of
documents I edit every month! Is there a feature available now that would
allow me to do this? It is very important that I am able to program the
corrections exactely how I want them to appear.

You could use the replace function to replace Additionally with Additionally
or Moreover or Futhermore recorded as a macro. Record all your similar
changes in the same macro, then run the macro on your new documents with
track changes active.
To add standard texts use autotext.

Thank you Graham for your fast reply.

This is a good idea though I have no idea how to use macros. Also, for this
example, Additionally would need to be left as it is and the other two words
added.

Ex. (Additionally OR morover OR futhermore), these results blah blah.

Additionally would not be crossed out by the track changes function, it
would be left there, with a ( added at the beginning the the words OR
futhermore OR moreover) added. In other words the authors original word
would stay unchanged only a ( added before the word, then the alternative
words and an eding ). Can this be done?
