Step 3Prank 3: The Mistyped/MadLibs Word Document
This one is great for individuals that commonly type or create documents, and even better for those that type but don't look at their screen while typing, but can be hilarious in any event.
Step 1: Determine the software you will be making the adjustments in. The following steps are outlined for Word 2007. You may need to do a google search for "autocorrect ______" if using a different application.
Step 2: Click the Office button, Select Word Options, Click Proofing in the left pane, Click the AutoCorrect Options button, Select the AutoCorrect tab. In the box labeld Replace, put a word or name (ideally one that will be typed often) and in the box labeled With, put a hilarious substitute. Click Add, and you're done. You may do this for multiple words, but 1 or 2 make it funniest. For example, set it to replace the word "customer" with the word "buttnugget", or a common last name (like the boss) with "Dog-Breath"
The Result: Once programmed, any time the replace word is typed into the document, it will automatically replace it with the work you typed. This can have a MadLibs-like effect if you do many replacements, but otherwise may be overlooked unless your mark is a careful proofreader. To ensure no one gets in trouble, I would pretend to proofread over their shoulder the first time they are typing and point it out, like, "Did you mean to refer to the user as a buttnugget?" You can delete the rule from the Autocorrect settings.
