Mel (& Paul) Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Ok I have just received a report back typed remotely (Australia I think!). Despite spelling sight as "sight" as in sight guage, she (or he) has typed it as site guage. Anyway I can locate each reference to "site" in the 20 page report and autochange it (microsoft word) or do I have to go through each and every line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel (& Paul) Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 I dont mind so much if it is a typo but is a real word, just the wrong one - that's just sloppy proof reading. I get really cross when its obviously spelt wrong and they havent even bothered to use spell check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 The person dictating the letter really should check it (or someone should) before it gets issued. As you say - shoddiness! Mind you, I'm a real one for 'keyboard dyslexia' I can't touch type so my brain (sometimes) tends to go faster than my fingers and it all comes out looking like Dutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Mel's received a mis-typed document from another office, and needs to know how to go through it quickly and autocorrect all the errors. Only it didn't come out quite like that (took me a few goes and I know Mel ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
