“Did you contribute to a HAS?” Oops, AutoCorrect!

Written by Dustin Wheeler, CPA. Posted in Outlook

Contributing to a health savings account may be a smart tax move, but that’s a post for another day. E-mailing someone to ask about health savings account contributions can be a troublesome for a tax accountant. The commonly used acronym for health savings accounts (HSA) autocorrects to HAS. Fortunately, it’s pretty simple to change that in Microsoft Outlook. Go to File > Options > Mail > Spelling and AutoCorrect, and then AutoCorrect Options. Type in “HSA” in the box under where it says Replace (see screenshot below). With it highlighted, all you have to do is click on the delete box. All of you mischievous souls out there can use this same AutoCorrect window to prank your friends, changing real words to something funny – but again, that’s a post for another day.

You can also just type HHSA followed by a space. Then go back and delete one H. This work-around doesn’t trigger the auto correct function.

I am thomas wheeler my dad on his death bed told me he had a daughter and son that was older than me. Sad part is, I have never meet them and know nothing about the wheeler family history. Because my grandpa came from NYNY is all I know. My dad was a WWII veteran and drank a lot told me we were native american yet I want to know where the wheelers really came from here or another country.

My parents said the same thing. This is a lot more interesting than the ‘wheel’ theory for certain.
I’m impressed that so many other ‘Wheelers’ also ended up here.

So after trying to figure out why my cents were adding wrong, I saw this and decided to chance the fix.
It worked.
So, File, Options, Advanced, When Calculating This Workbook, check Set Precision As Displayed
Now, my .02 + .02 = .03 is now gone. Yeah.
Also, decide which way your cells are going to be – number, currency, or accounting. Keep them the same.
