# 7.6. Autocorrection

Auto correction is a system for correcting common typing errors, converting abbreviations to their full spelling and adjusting capitalization. As you could guess from its name, this all occurs automatically, while you are editing your document.

To adjust the options for auto correction, select Extra->Autocorrection... from the Menu bar

A dialog window appears to help you set your options.

## 7.6.1. Simple Autocorrection

  When selected, KWord will automatically capitalize the first letter after a period.

Convert two Upper Case letters to one Upper Case and one Lower Case letter

  When selected, KWord will automatically convert a double capital letter (a common typographical error), into a single capital letter.

## 7.6.2. Advanced Autocorrection
