AutoCorrect list global in Office 2007 except for formatted text
The Help feature in Office 2007 says that the AutoCorrect list is global
across the Office programs that support this feature, which means that when you add or delete a word from the list in one Microsoft Office program, the other Office programs are also affected. I found you have to open and close programs to make the new entry globally available. However, I cannot find a way to make formatted text globally available as that option is dimmed in Outlook. Does anyone know why this option is dimmed in Outlook? Go to Tools, Options, Mail Format tab, Editor Options, Proofing, AutoCorrect Options to see what I mean. Also, is there any limit to the number of characters for an AutoCorrect entry? These used to be the limits according to this article http://support.microsoft.com/default...n-us%3b180165: Maximum number of AutoCorrect entries Limited to memory/hard disk space Maximum number of characters as a 255 plain text entry Maximum number of characters as a Unlimited formatted entry Maximum number of characters stored as 31 Replace text Arlene |

AutoCorrect list global in Office 2007 except for formatted text
Formatted AutoCorrect entries are stored in Normal.dot (or whatever its
equivalent is in Word 2007), which is why they are not global. -- Suzanne S.

AutoCorrect list global in Office 2007 except for formatted text
Further to what Suzanne says, prior to 2007 formatted AutoCorrect entries
were shared between Word (itself) and Word used as Outlook editor. In 2007, Outlook uses its own version of Word with a different Normal Template (NormalEmail.dotm) so that formatted AutoCorrects are not shared in any way. The dimmed "formatted text" option is normal. Before starting the Dialog, select some formatted text (and you must be editing a message for this) and you will then find it pre-entered in the "With" box and the formatted text option pre-selected - just the same way it works in Word proper. As far as I know, the limits have not changed. -- Enjoy, Tony "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...
