Turn autoformat off for A. B. C.
At the end of a client letter, I want to type my name and title.
Specifically: A. Marks Powers Vice President When I type my name at end of letter (i.e. A. Marks Powers), Word 2007 wants to autoformat so next line starts with B. I then have to change the B. autoformat and insert Vice President. I want to keep autoformat on for numbers and bullets but disable autoformat for A. B. C. D. bullets. Any work arounds for this issue...? |

There is no way to turn off AutoFormat As You Type for uppercase lettered
lists only. What you can do is undo (Ctrl+Z) as soon as Word applies the auto-correction. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "A Marks Powers" wrote in message ...

Create a macro for your signature line.

In Word 2003, you would go to Tools | AutoCorrect Options | AutoFormat As
You Type and disable "Automatic numbered lists" and also (for good measure) "Format beginning of list item like the one before it" (though I think the latter is actually irrelevant). You'll need to find what the equivalent in Word 2007 is, but it's automatic lists that are causing the problem; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TameAutoFormat.htm -- Suzanne S.

An autotext would be better.

But note that the OP is really asking for a way to disable AutoFormat As You
Type only for a *particular* type of list, which cannot be done. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Ah, yes, I missed that. It would, of course, be much wiser to apply numbered
styles and not depend on AutoFormat. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...

Indeed, turning off AutoFormat completely and then using numbered styles
would make the task a lot easier. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Ah, yes, I missed that.
