We explored differences between formatted and unformatted AutoCorrect entries in our Saving and Sharing AutoCorrect Entries tutorial. In simple terms, formatted AutoCorrect entries include formatted attributes such as font choices, bold, italics, etc., but can also include images, tables, and other content types. On the other hand, unformatted AutoCorrect entries comprise plain text.
