SUMMARY
The AutoCorrect feature in Microsoft Visio works behind the scenes to produce attractive, easy-to-read text in a drawing while you concentrate on the content. Visio analyzes the text as you type and automatically makes a replacement, depending on the rules that you have set.

By default, all of the AutoCorrect options are turned on the first time that you start Visio. You can turn off any of the options that you do not want.

To turn off any or all of the AutoCorrect options, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options.
 * 2) Click the AutoCorrect tab.
 * 3) Click to clear the check boxes of the rules that you want to turn off.
 * 4) Click OK.

To turn off the &quot;AutoFormat As You Type&quot; options
To turn off any or all of the AutoFormat options such as AutoCorrect, which work while you type text into your drawing, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options.
 * 2) Click the AutoFormat As You Type tab.
 * 3) Under Replace as you type, click to clear the check boxes for those rules that you want to turn off.
