Let's say that you commonly use an abbreviation such as TTY. in your documents. You wouldn't want to start a new sentence every time you use the abbreviation so you'd add that word to the Exception list.

• To view the Exception list, choose Tools/AutoCorrect.
• When AutoCorrect opens, click Exceptions.
• To add tty. to the Exceptions list, type the abbreviation into the "Don't capitalize after" entry box and then click Add.
• Click OK to close the dialog box and record your entry.
• When you get back to AutoCorrect, click OK to close the dialog box.
