Autocorrect "Replace text as you type" no longer working in comments
Does AutoCorrect still work in the main body of the document? I suspect that the so-called modern comments are preventing AutoCorrect from working in comments, but I don't have a copy of Word for Mac at the moment so I can't test this hypothesis myself.
Yes, Autocorrect still works for the body text. This is what's maddening about it. It works there. It used to work in the comments (just months ago). I haven't changed any settings. It's just broken now (for comments), which makes my work so much more frustrating.
A recent update may have broken the feature. Report this to Microsoft using the feedback facility in Word for Mac. For instructions, see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/how-do-i-give-feedback-on-microsoft-365-2b102d44-b43f-4dd2-9ff4-23cf144cfb11#platform=macos .
