I type ACN in my excel from office 365 and it auto corrects to CAN, why does it do that, it must be a bug, how to fix, as this is a stock quote and is part of a live spread sheet.

Open Excel
File > Options > Proofing > AutoCorrect Options
Type ACN in Replace: box
Now CAN will automatically appear in With: box
You may be required to select this in down box if not automatically selected
Now press Delete

Ho John, this is one of the most commonly mis-spelled words, so it is in the Autocorrect in Excel
In Excel, go to File - Options
Go to Proofing - Autocorrect Options
Scroll down to find acn, select and delete that entry to stop this behavior
That's It
