Pedro,

It does not work in my LO. (Version 3.4.3, Win 7 64bit) After creating "in situ" in italics, I opened the AutoCorrect box. "in situ" does not appear in the 'with' box and the 'Text only' box is checked, grayed out and can not be changed.

Yes, it can! :)

You just need to add the word to the Autocorrect list under Tools,
Autocorrect Options.

Let's say you always want "in situ" in italics. Type in situ, select both
words and apply italics.  Press Ctr+C to store it in memory.  Click on
Tools, Autocorrect Options. Notice that in situ already shows in the "With"
box and that "Text only" is unchecked. Now just type in situ in the Replace
box and click on New.
