Automatically change specific words?

I'd like to know if there is a way to get word 2007 to take any specific word of my choosing to automatically change font colour (of my choice) and underline that word with automatic capitalisation as I type it without having to go back and change it manually?

I have worked out how to capitalise specific words, now all I want to do is work out how to underline those same words in the font colour of my choosing without having to re-do the settings after I close the wrod programme, I want the settings permanantly set to do specific words everytime I open word.

So for instance lets take the word "Stalling", when I type it in word and I type it in lower case I'd like it to automatically capitalise which I've worked out how to do, but I'd also like that same word to change to red in colour with it underlined without manually going back over the document to change it.

Can I do that, if so please enlighten me.

Thanks, Max

This could drive you nuts, but all you need to do is set up formatted autocorrect entries for these words.

Type out and format Stalling then select it.

Office Menu>Word Options>Proofing>AutoCorrect Options>AutoCorrect Tab.

Click the "Formatted Text" radio button.  Type stalling in the replace field, click ok
