Spell Check

Is there anyway to program AutoCAD to AutoCorrect misspelled words?
Microsoft Word has this option, but I did not know if it could be
incorporated into AutoCAD.

Try the SPELL command.

The spell command does not allow for an AutoCorrect feature. I did not know
if there was some way to modify the current spell check dialog box to
include an AutoCorrect selection.

If you use another editor vs. the default MTEXT Editor that is internal to
AutoCAD sure... (eg: MS Word)

MTEXTED System Variable
Type: String
Saved in: Registry
Initial value: "Internal"
Sets the name of the application to use for editing multiline text objects. You
can specify a different text editor for the MTEXT and DDEDIT commands. If you
set MTEXTED to internal or to null, AutoCAD displays the internal Multiline
Text Editor. You set MTEXTED to null by entering a period (.). If you specify a
path and the name of the executable file for another text editor or word
processor, AutoCAD displays that path and file name instead. If the multiline
text object is fewer than 80 characters, you can specify :lisped to use the
LISP editor.

Text editors other than the internal one show the formatting codes in paragraph
text.

Set WORD as your text editor for Mtext, and you get what you want.
Autocad is a cad drawing/drafting program, not a word processor: Word cannot do CAD either.

I type in MTEXTED to change to WORD, but then when
I execute the program it gives me a cannot find shell program error. Does the
path to where MS word is located need to be fully in the MTEXTED
command?

It does have to be full path for me. Right click on the Word shorcut, select Properties, then copy/paste.
