Autocorrect lost to one file
I've got one new file that my autocorrect entries do not show up
for. It's not a big file or anything special. I can create a new file and autocorrect is fine. Both files can be open, AC works for one, not the other. My AC file is 48K. p. -- Using Office 2003 sp3 on Windows XP Home |

If I copy/paste it to a file in which AC was working, AC stops working. If I delete all contents and repaste, this time Unformatted, AC works again. Somehow the content was breaking Word's ability to access my AC file? p. -- Using Office 2003 sp3 on Windows XP Home |

Did you copy "Bible text" from somewhere? Maybe it came in with a
different Set Language? On Jun 8, 11:33*am, Paul B wrote: On Mon, 8 Jun 2009 11:29:16 -0400, Paul B wrote: I've got one new file that my autocorrect entries do not show up for.

AutoCorrect entries are stored in .acl files by language. It is likely that
the text of the file you are using is set to a language for which you have no AutoCorrect file. -- Suzanne S.

I tested another copy/paste, and the same thing happened. Then I Selected All, and set Language to US English. I also set auto-detect. Now AC worked. I tested again, and AC did not work, so the auto-detect is not sharp enough. So I guess the Bible text has something in it that messes things up (It is English Bible text, but Logos uses a lot of hidden markup.) Probably I'll past unformatted and let Logos know about the problem. Thanks again. p. -- Using Office 2003 sp3 on Windows XP Home |

Language Auto Detection is notoriously useless and troublesome. We generally
advise turning it off. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Paul B" wrote in message ...
