                                  This can be an interesting thing to do when we want to prank our friends really lightly without harming their computers. Microsoft provides a very powerful word processor MS Word. Word processors are those tools which provide the facility to the user to type, format and store the word documents. Word processors have made the typing and documentation work easy for the writers and also it has a powerful editing or we can say formatting ability that has reduced the time period of completing the document and increased the efficiency of the final document. The autocorrect property has also made tremendous positive as well as negative effect after the outcome of any sort of document. This makes really clear that a Word processor is indeed needed for sure. The Word Processing software that Microsoft provides with its machine is MS Word.
Today’s topic is about the prank that is related to the auto correct feature. Typically it is a feature that a word processor provider provides to their customer for their betterment, but as a computer freak it becomes our responsibility to transfer the feature into a prank. ;) So let us hop in quickly. Below are the steps to do so.

Step 1:
The article refers to the MS Word. So first of all you need to open MS Word. To those who don’t know how to open Word – you can go to start menu and type in msword else open run menu (Windows + r) and type in “winword” in it and hit enter. “winword” command will open MS Word for you.  Now that you have opened it, the next step is to go to the top left corner of the screen there you will see a MS Office symbol, click on it. A series of option will pop down  and at the bottom right corner you will find option that says “Word Options”.



Stpe 2:
              
          “Word Options” will bring you to the Word Option window. There also you will find number of options on the left side of the window. But from that you have to choose “Proofing” option. This option contains major different options that will help you to format your text in your document. Now you will find an option saying “AutoCorrect” as shown in the figure. A new window will pop up that says “AutoCorrect –Language-”, here -language- states your default language that is already set in your Word settings. In this window you will find a checkbox “Replace word as you type” click that checkbox and select it.  There will be two text box below that, in the first text box you need to fill the text that you want to be replaced and in the second text box you need to type the word to which you want to replace.

EG:
First text box :”hate”
Second box : “love”




Now just you have to click OK and you are done with your task. To try if this works or not, just open the word and type   “I hate when people beat me” this will automatically convert to “I love when people beat me”
