Would you know how to you fix a situation where a third party template doesn't allow you to use your autocorrect/autotext function on it? For example, if I type on my own Word documents then the autocorrect option works just fine. I work for a transcription company who send third party Word templates to transcribe audio files onto. We are not to type on any other document other than the template they send us but autocorrect doesn't work on these templates and massively slows down the work, and what could be typed in one hour now takes four or even five, which is worse than slave labour. Is there a fix for this other than typing on a different document and then cutting text from this and pasting onto the third party template? I think they would know if text has been cut and pasted from a separate document.
