As for the forum - the Microsoft forums are merely one of many windows into
an NNTP server hosted by Microsoft, but widely syndicated to a variety of
Usenet servers. Calling back your errors for re-editing is therefore not
possible.

Should've read:

How can I get Word to save my settings when I turn off AutoText,
AutoFormat, AutoFormat As You Type, and AutoCorrect?
I want them all turned off permanently, for the rest of my life. I
don't ever, EVER want them turned on again under any circumstances
whatsoever.
I've seen it suggested to save the changes in Normal.dot but that
doesn't work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I've successfully
altered Normal.dot for other purposes in the past so I know my way
around somewhat.
Please include step-by-step instructions in your answer. This has
been driving me crazy for months and I can't take it any more!
Many thanks
