Find a time when you when you can tamper with the victim's computer in peace.

Step 3: Open Word
Open Microsoft Word and click on the Tools tab, then AutoCorrect. In the Replace box, type the word you want the computer to change. In the With box, type the word or phrase you want to swap in. Click Add. When you're finished, click OK.
