I would always write “long-standing” instead of “longstanding,” but Word does not consider “longstanding” a misspelling. For instance, it will change “abotu” to “about.” You can add words to this section if you’d like. In the AutoCorrect tab of the AutoCorrect box, there is a list of misspelled words that AutoCorrect automatically replaces if you type them. In the AutoFormat As You Type tab in the AutoCorrect window, deselect the boxes labeled “Automatic bulleted lists” and “Automatic numbered lists.” Replace Text As You Type If you want to create lists with irregular spacing or appearance, you should turn off the feature that automatically creates lists. You will see a few options that allow you to change the numbering, indention, and spacing of the list. You can adjust the appearance of the list by right-clicking anywhere in the list.

You will see an icon labeled “AutoCorrect” and one labeled “Spelling and Grammar” (The style settings are in “Spelling and Grammar.”) If those instructions or the ones that follow do not work, consult Microsoft’s website. For style settings, click the box labeled “Settings” in the section “When correcting spelling and grammar in Word.” To access these settings on a Mac, click Word > Preferences. For AutoCorrect, click the AutoCorrect Options box in the Proofing window. To access AutoCorrect and style settings on a PC, go to File > Options > Proofing.
