How to set an intonation in words?

For example, when I type something which contains 'co' in a word (e.g. concord), how do I make the word automatically turn into 'cawncawrd'? I know the AutoCorrect box could do the thing, but it would take a long time to set a huge list of words. Is there a quicker way to create something like a prefix, and activates whenever I type a part in a word 'co', and turns the 'co' into 'caw'?

    Hi @Tooki

    I suggest you use VBA code to change the "co" to "caw".

    Go to Word, press Alt + F11 to open VBA Editor.

    Please paste the following code in "ThisDocument" object.

    Sub ReplaceCoWithCaw()
    Dim rng As Range
    Set rng = ActiveDocument.Range
    With rng.Find
        .Text = "co"
        .Replacement.Text = "caw"
        .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
    End With
End Sub

    enter image description here

    When you want to replace "co" with "caw", please press Alt + F8, run "ReplaceCoWithCaw" macro.********************************************

    You can use Jay Freedman's AutoCorrect2007 utility to add masses of AutoCorrect entries (as well as backup and restore your AutoCorrect entry list).

    You can find that here: http://jay-freedman.info/

    What is it you are trying to accomplish doing this? Using such a macro or AutoCorrect to replace text ordinarily used is likely to cause damage to your text.
