Default Word should have bulk auto-correct for speed typing

It would be great if Word had a 'fast type' feature whereby it auto corrected
obvious spelling errors. As a law student I often have to type frantically
and get the words slightly incorrect (eg typing incorrct) - as it stands I
would then have to either manually create a new "auto correct" entry or do a
once off fix. It seems silly to have to make all those auto correct entries
for obvious spelling errors/fixes.

I can see why at times you wouldn't want Word auto correcting everything,
but it would be great to have the option to turn it on or off.

Many common spelling errors are already included as AutoCorrect entries. If
you look at the list of built-in entries, you'll see that most of them are
for error correction.
