Getting rid of returns in Autocorrect
I need to change some of my Autocorrect entries to be bolded, I write the
word in Word highlight it and add it to my Autocorrect, but when I try to use it in my document it is adding a return skipping a line after the entry, which I do not want it to do. I've tried to only highlight the word but it seems to pick up a couple of spaces after the word, which may be why it is adding in the extra line. Thanks. |

Getting rid of returns in Autocorrect
You will need to turn on your Show/Hide, so that you can avoid
selecting the paragraph symbol at the end. Another alternative would be to type a word after what you want as the AutoCorrect entry, select the text that you want making sure to select only the characters that you want, use the right and left arrow keys as appropriate -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Getting rid of returns in Autocorrect
Thanks for the help, using the Show/Hide didn't work because when I was
highlighting it would automatically grab that too, aargh, but by placing another word after the one I wanted to autocorrect it would work. Thanks again!!

Getting rid of returns in Autocorrect
I suspect you have "When selecting, automatically select entire word"
