Perennial question isn't it? I always seem to forget the
different techniques in Word and Excel to temporarily cancel an
autocorrect. Anyway, in Excel after a space in the formula bar,
the acronym will change but CTRL-Z will switch it back. Word and
Excel use the same autocorrect file and I prefer to not make
permanent changes.
