Word 2000
when I use a part line of -------------
to separate one part of my document from another
Word automatically converts it to 'something else' a row of some
charatcetr
it chooses and makes this a full row.
The same occures for
*********
_________
=========
I want to switch this feature off but haven't been able to find out how
to
do this.
I would prefer to retain some of the autoformat features rather than have
o turn them all off.
