Cannot get Math AutoCorrect to work in Excel 2013
asked on
Hello,
Is there a trick to getting the Excel (2013) Math AutoCorrect to work?
When I go to:
File > Options > Proofing > AutoCorrect Options > AutoCorrect
and have a check mark in the last box (Replace text as you type), each of the "Replace" & "With" pairs work just fine in spreadsheets.
However, even after verifying that the same box (Replace text as you type) under the Math AutoCorrect tab is checkmarked, I cannot get any of the "Replace" & "With" pairs to work. Most of the "Replace" items begin with a backslash (\) but neither those nor the ones without a backslash appear to be working.
I did try changing to another font and also tried creating a custom AutoCorrect pair:
Replace: ddd
With: ¿
but neither test was successful. Interestingly however, entering that same pair under the first tab was successful.
Thanks
