Prevent Word from autocorrecting HSA

  • Open Microsoft Word.
  • Click on the 'File' menu in the top left corner of the screen.
  • Select 'Options' from the menu.
  • Go to the 'Proofing' section.
  • Click on the 'AutoCorrect Options' button.
  • In the 'Replace' box, type 'HSA'.
  • In the 'With' box, type 'HSA'.
  • Click 'Add' and then 'OK' to save the changes.
