Default =RAND()

Thank you for your help. I'll take your advice. If I loose the "feature"
forever, I will not cry.

I made an experiment and found a method that seems to disable - or maybe
rather replace - the €śfeature€ť: I created an AutoCorrect entry (Tools
AutoCorrect options) and entered €ś=rand()€ť in both the €śReplace€ť and €śWith€ť
fields.

However, I you want to be able to enable the €śfeature€ť again, you may not
want to use that method - it seems as if it is gone even if the AutoCorrect
entry is deleted (so who knows, I may regret that I tried...).

I am using Word to document some Excel spreadsheets. In Excel
=RAND()
is a valid formula. When I enter this my my document, Word converts it
into
gibberish.


How do I disable this feature?
