when I type cc: at the bottom of a letter autocorrect changes it to Cc: In
Autocorrect menu I asked it to correct Cc: to cc: but it didn't work. I also
put in Exceptions not to capitalize cc and that doesn't work. In Word 98,
autocorrect would replace Cc: with cc: but since then in Word 2000 and Word
2003 it doesn't work. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks.

The only solutions I've seen offered are (1) press Ctrl+Z immediately after
each "correction" or (2) assign cc: to some other AutoCorrect entry, so that
you can type, for example, xy and get cc:.

Navigate to Insert AutoText AutoText AutoCorrect tab
Exceptions other corrections
Add "cc" to the list without quotes.

OK out.

Let us know.
