Outlook 2003 Auto-Correct Anomaly
While writing an email to a colleague today,
Outlook 2003
underlined a passage and offered a correction. The correction it offered didn't sound right but I clicked on it anyway to see if it looked better corrected. It didn't. But what I noticed next is that it again underlined the same passage and offered a correction, this time back to what it was originally. Thinking it knows best (yeah, right), I clicked on it again and guess what? It corrected back to the original passage and offered a "suggestion".
Original passage that "needed" correcting:
Corrected passage that also "needed" correcting:
The passage corrected back to the original:
And so I found the anomaly: The correction that corrected itself with a correction that needed to be corrected back to the original correction.
