Perhaps every user who regularly has to work with the Microsoft Word text editor wondered how to make his work in this program faster and more efficient. Microsoft Word has several tools to facilitate and automate the performance of certain tasks in the program. We will discuss one of these tools below. In this article, we will take a closer look at how to make or remove autocorrect in Word, and touch on all aspects of using this feature. Let's figure it out. Go!
Few users use all the features of a text editor
By learning how to properly use AutoCorrect in Word, you can save yourself many hours of work. If you often type texts, then you must have thought about the fact that constantly writing long, repetitive phrases is not very convenient. This is where the automatic word replacement feature comes in handy.
How it works? Instead of writing the phrase “and so on” every time, you can make it so that you write, for example, “etc”, and Word will immediately translate the abbreviation into a full form. Thus, you can customize the Word for any abbreviations, abbreviations and other things. Comfortable? Still would!
Let's move on to setting up Microsoft Word. Open File and select Options. Next, open the "Spelling" section and click the "AutoCorrect Options" button. You will see a window containing various settings and buttons for automatic replacement options. Check the required fields. Be sure to check the "Replace as you type" box. In the "Replace" field, you must specify an abbreviation or abbreviation, and in the "To" field, write the full phrase, for example, "pc" for "personal computer", or "tk" for "telecommunications". Then click the Add and OK buttons. You can add an unlimited number of such abbreviations. Now it is enough to enter an abbreviation and after pressing the spacebar it will be converted into a full form.
If you need the phrase to decline by case, then create a few more autocorrect options. Open the desired settings window as described above, and in the appropriate fields add a new abbreviation, adding an ending to it so that it is immediately clear and you do not get confused. For example, "pcom" to "personal computer" and "tk" to "telecommunications". Using this option, you do not have to waste timeremembering which case has which endings or editing the resulting phrase each time. At the end, also click "Add" and "OK" to confirm. Similarly, you can configure for each case.
At first, you will have to spend time and write down all the options you use, however, in the future this will help to increase the speed of typing several times, which will also increase your productivity.
To turn off the autocorrect feature, you need to go to the appropriate options window and uncheck the "Replace as you type" checkbox.
The above picture is a funny one. But this is practically the most innocent and funny case possible. And it can be funny until it happens to you.
Indeed, sometimes the tricks of the predictive system of automatic search and replacement of words can completely change your SMS message or message in the IM messenger completely beyond recognition. Depending on who you sent such a message to, the result can be from very funny to very sad. Therefore, if you do not use this function, then it is best to deactivate it altogether.
In this tutorial, I want to tell you how to turn off T9 on Android and turn off text autocorrect.
Attention! Depending on the version of the Android operating system and various modifications by different electronics manufacturers, the appearance of the menu and the arrangement of elements, the general algorithm of actions still remains approximately the same. Therefore, if your points are slightly different, just do by analogy and everything will work out for you.
We go into the settings menu of the phone or tablet and open the "Language and input" section:
Next, we look for the subsection "Keyboard and input methods", in it the keyboard that you use should be the first item. For example, I have it "Samsung Keyboard". I select it and a menu of available options opens, in which I open the "Predictive input" section. There will be a separate item T9:
To disable T9 mode on an Android phone, simply go to this item and move the On slider. to the "Disable" position so that it turns gray.
On most phones, when you turn off the T9 system, you will also turn off text autocorrect.
If you want to make sure that T9 on Android is turned on and offers options, but does not automatically substitute them, then you just need to turn off autocorrect and leave the mode active. To do this, go to the subsection of the same name and move the slider to the “Off” state.
It should turn out like this:
That's all. After that, the phone, while typing SMS or other messages, will offer you options for substituting words, but it will not automatically substitute them.
Known for being overly automated. Now this operating system can be found in a variety of technical means - from watches to. But sometimes the computer's concern for the user can be too intrusive. The operating system's keyboard tends to predict what word its user is about to type. These hints are completely far from what the user needs. For example, in those cases when he uses the English layout for typing in another language with the Latin alphabet. In this case, auto-correction of the entered words will only interfere with the user.
Greenbot host Florence Ion faced this challenge as she had to type in Romanian. And I decided to make an instruction for all users who would like to disable auto-correction (auto-correction), but do not know how to do it or do not want to delve into the settings for a long time.
The user's vocabulary may be wider than that offered by the operating system. In addition, these tips are often just confusing. And I would like a person to decide what exactly he is going to write, and not resort to the help of computer pseudo-intelligence for this.
Undoubtedly, sometimes auto-correction of words and displayed hints can be very convenient. But in some other situations they are not needed. Luckily, these features are easy to disable and re-enable. It is enough just to know where the corresponding settings are located in the Android mobile operating system.
Without a doubt, among our readers there are many experienced Android users who know how to tweak things and more difficult than disabling automatic correction. But we are also read by new users of the most popular mobile operating system in the world, who have not yet had time to comprehend the full depth of its subtleties. Auto-correction is not among Android, although sometimes it causes dissatisfaction among users. 
First of all, you need to go to the Android settings panel, which helps to bring the operating system in line with your tastes. In this panel, you need to find the item "Language and input" (the names may vary depending on the version of Android and its interface shell, the meaning is important). Next, select the item "Keyboard Android" and touch it with your finger. 
The menu that opens should scroll to the item "Autocorrect" and tap on it. 
Moderate autocorrect is selected by default. 
You can change this setting to disable autocorrect completely, or make it active or very active if this feature of the operating system helps you. A touch will suffice. The dialog box will close and the new setting will be accepted by the operating system. 
But the Android keyboard also tries to prompt the user for the words they are supposedly about to type. The mobile pseudo-mind does not always guess correctly. It is hard to imagine that these clues would help in the correspondence of two mathematicians discussing the subtleties of the most complex science they study. And there can be many such situations. And this means that sometimes it is desirable to turn off automatic prompts. 
The next item is "Show correction options." By default, Android always shows them. This item allows you to configure the operating system so that it gives hints only when the device is in a vertical (portrait) screen scan or never shows correction options at all, leaving the user to decide what word he is going to enter and what errors he intends do in it.
I must say that the method of disabling auto-correction described above is common for all Android devices. Some customized keyboard applications provide an easier way to turn off automatic correction of user input. There are also third-party keyboard apps for Android.
Users who are not confident in their experience should write down the sequence of actions so that, in case of a desire to return the settings to their original state, they can always do this.
Do you find the autocorrect feature more useful or more distracting? Is she helpful or just annoying?
Instruction
If you are using Microsoft Office Word, make sure you are using the correct settings. Launch the program and click on the Office button in the upper left corner of the window. In the context menu, click on the "Word Options" button (located in the lower right corner of the menu). A new dialog box will open.
Go to the "Spelling" section by clicking on it with the left mouse button. Click on the "AutoCorrect Options" button in the group of the same name. An additional dialog box will open. Make sure you're on the "AutoCorrect" tab and uncheck the "Correct Keyboard Layout" box. Apply the new settings with the OK button in all open windows.
Also, the layout switching occurs automatically if a utility designed for this, for example, Punto Switcher, is installed on your computer. To temporarily disable shift language, right-click the utility icon in the notification area on the taskbar. Do not confuse the Punto Switcher icon with the standard Windows language bar icon. The icon you need looks like either the Russian or American flag, or the letters RU and EN on a blue and red background.
In the context menu, clear the marker from the "Auto Switch" item. After this change language will occur after you press the assigned hotkeys. To completely disable the utility, right-click on its icon and select "Exit" from the drop-down menu. In the event that the Punto Switcher icon is not displayed on the taskbar, and it is inconvenient for you to manage the utility, set the necessary settings.
In the Punto Switcher folder, click on the punto.exe icon. The settings window will open. In the "General" section of the "General" tab, check the box "Show icon on the taskbar" and apply the new settings.

By default, the Microsoft Word text editor and Microsoft Excel spreadsheets have AutoCorrect enabled, which fixes some common user errors: two uppercase letters at the beginning of a word, enabled Caps Lock, and others. Not everyone likes such a service, and if desired, it can be quickly turned off.
Instruction
Sometimes the user needs to disable the Punto Switcher program during work. Such a need may be associated with entering a large number of character combinations - for example, passwords. Or with a game where you plan to actively use the keyboard. And also with the passage of touch typing training programs like "Keyboard Solo" - in it, when the Switcher is running, there is a problem associated with the output of another character when the correct key is pressed, which is counted by the program as an error.
You will need
- Punto Switcher.
Instruction
Find the Punto Switcher icon in the bottom right corner of your desktop. Depending on the program settings, it will look like either a flag or a designation of the current language - Ru or En.
Right click on this icon to bring up the list. In it, select the Auto-switch item, and by clicking the left button, uncheck it. The color of the application icon will turn gray and the program will not automatically switch between layouts. The same action can be done in another way - left-click on the icon, and in the short drop-down list, select the same item - Autoswitch. Finally, you can simply exit the Switcher - for this, in the drop-down list that appears after right-clicking on the icon, you need to select the item Exit, and click on it.
You can start the program again using the shortcut, turn on the auto-switching feature by clicking again on the menu item of the same name.
Sometimes the application icon is not displayed. In this case:
-Use the key combination Alt, Ctrl and Del in order to call the computer lock menu instead of the desktop. Select the "Task Manager" item in it and left-click on it.
-Click on the "Processes" tab, which will be located in the working window of the "Task Manager".
-Find the ps.exe process in this tab. Right-click on it to open the context menu, and select End Process from it.
Instead of the last action, you can also select the process by clicking the left button, and click on the "End Process" button located in the right corner of the bottom of the dispatcher window. The application will be disabled.
In some cases, you will need to click "End Process" several times until Punto Switcher is completed and its name disappears from the list of processes.
note
In older versions of the application, there will be a "Disable" item instead of the "Auto-switch" item.
Useful advice
If the application still switched the layout incorrectly, then just select the word and press the Shift + Break key combination to switch back.
For the convenience of working in the Windows operating system, a quick keyboard layout is provided between the used languages. In the event that the user considers this option unnecessary, he can disable it.
Instruction
When working on a computer, the need to switch the input language occurs quite often - for example, while searching the Internet for the necessary information. Therefore, it is not recommended to disable this option. In addition, it does not interfere with comfortable work in any chosen layout.
If you still decide to disable the language selection, open "Start" - "Control Panel" - "Regional and Language Options". Select the "Languages" tab, click the "Details" button. In the new window, click the "Keyboard Options" button, then "Change Keyboard Shortcuts" and uncheck "Switch input languages" and "Switch keyboard layouts". Save changes by clicking OK.
In the event that you want to remove the layout indicator from the system tray, open the Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del) and stop the ctfmon.exe process. Then delete the entry for this file from the startup folder. The most convenient way to do this is with Aida64 (Everest). Open "Programs" - "Startup", select ctfmon.exe in the list and click the "Delete" button at the top of the window.
You can also use CCleaner to disable or remove ctfmon.exe. Run it, open "Service" - "Startup". Select the line with ctfmon.exe and click the "Turn off" (recommended) or "Delete" button.
If you don't like the standard look of the keyboard layout switcher, replace it (after removing ctfmon.exe from startup) with the Punto Switcher utility. You can set it to display the layout by displaying the Russian flag or the US flag, which is very convenient - to determine the layout, just take a quick look at the tray. In the program settings, select the items "Make the icon in the form of country flags" and "Always show the icon in full brightness." You can download Punto Switcher for Windows XP and Windows 7 from the link: http://download.yandex.ru/punto/PuntoSwitcherSetup.exe.

The problem of an unswitched keyboard layout literally haunts people who conduct business correspondence, post messages on the forum and type long texts of documents. To avoid having to re-type text typed in the wrong keyboard layout, there is a popular Punto Switcher program.
Punto Switcher: smart keyboard layout switcher
The first and, perhaps, the main function of a software product that was born into the world almost ten years ago is the automatic change of keyboard layout. In translation, punto switcher means "switching point".
Moreover, Punto Switcher contains almost all the languages of the world, and it easily determines what exactly you wanted to type and in what layout. Determination of the correct typing language occurs after typing 3-4 characters in an inappropriate layout.
In addition to the fact that the program switches the keyboard layout automatically, determining the desired language, the letters typed in the wrong layout also change to the desired ones. This dramatically saves time and saves from retyping text.
Punto Switcher is a smart program, but it's not perfect either. Therefore, after installation, if necessary, the software will need to learn a little, thereby saving yourself from false positives. Training is carried out through the settings, where you need to find a list of exception words and add frequently used abbreviations to it so that Punto Switcher does not react to them as typos.
In the process of using the program, you can add to the list of exceptions, if suddenly Punto does not recognize any of the words you type.
"Punto Switcher": an inconspicuous spy
In addition to the function of changing the keyboard layout, the Punto Switcher program also has the option of keeping a diary. It consists in the fact that the program will carefully record all keystrokes on the keyboard in a text file.
Diary in Punto Switcher can be useful for recovering accidentally deleted texts. For example, you have been typing or working for a long time, and suddenly the electricity is gone. An office program is often able to reproduce not all the text after a failure or not save the file at all, and the Punto Switcher diary “remembers” everything and will save you from having to print everything again.
The diary does not save text formatting, but this is not a big loss when restoring several dozen sheets of text that were not saved in the office suite.
The diary option in Punto Switcher is also used by some users in order to remember previously entered passwords. By the way, the diary itself can also be locked with a password so that no one but you can read your keyboard logs. Closing the diary with a password is done through the program settings, tab - "Diary".
Sex reassignment is a complex and expensive operation that involves changing the genitals to the genitals of the opposite sex. As a rule, it is already decided by adults over 30 years old, who do not have a shadow of a doubt about their true gender.
Instruction
Gender largely determines the individuality of a person, it is inherent in everyone since birth. Sometimes a child is born with congenital anomalies, that is, deformed genitals that are a cross between male and female, or has genitalia of both sexes at once. Developmental anomalies are associated, as a rule, with hormonal imbalances, and with proper treatment they are successfully overcome. In this case, parents or doctors immediately choose the sex for him and operate. If the child's penis reaches 2.5 cm or more, he becomes a man, if less - a woman. Even if a child has male chromosomes, it is easier for him to get used to the role of a barren woman than to become an inferior man.
Sex reassignment surgery is also resorted to by people who are aware of themselves as persons of the opposite sex. For many years they live out of harmony with themselves and others, they feel like a different person. Since you can change sex only once, a person should not have a shadow of doubt about this, the support of others and family is important.
