AutoCorrect doesn't hold
In my Word 2003 on my Windows XP AutoCorrect selections quit holding and a
New template selection always opens in a new Word in a new window. I was going to uninstal an reinstal Word but the dealer who sold me this computer and software a few months ago warned me that the microsoft disc that comes with a new computer can only be used once. I have been trying to suffer thru this mess to save my disc for a more important time but this is really getting to be a problem. New selections opening in a new window can be lived with, but always having to change text that AutoCorrect "Corrected" is really frustrating. Does anyone have any ideas about this situation of my AutoCorrect selections not holding and any ideas about New selections always opening in a new window would also be appreciated. All ideas, suggestions, and comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, K. |

AutoCorrect doesn't hold
Regarding the "New selections always opening in a new window", in Word
click on Tools | Options | View tab | uncheck the "Windows in Taskbar" box | OK. Didn't you ask this same question on July 8? Regarding the "having to change text that AutoCorrect 'Corrected'" problem, can you say that in English? Maybe give an example too?

AutoCorrect doesn't hold
First, Thank You garfield-n-odie for such a timely response. About "having to
change text that AutoCorrect 'Corrected', I used the wrong term. I should have also said 'AutoFormat'. In Format-AutoFormat-Options-AutoCorrect tab I deselected 'Capitalize first letter of sentences'. Then in the AutoFormat tab I deselected replace Ordinals... and replace Fractions... Then in the "AutoFormat As You Type" tab I deselected replace Ordinals and replace Fractions there too. Then every time I reopened my Word 2003, all of these were selected again. When I first started using this new system, maybe a year ago now, I made the above deselections at first usage. All was fine for quite some time. Then everything changed maybe 6 months ago. It would be nice to figure out what idid to cause this change so I can stay away from doing that again. Even tho I translated what my CompuDoc said about Windows discs only allowing one usage, I went ahead and uninstalled and reinstalled Office last night. At first tests last night my selections seem to be holding while I closed and reopened Word several times. Hopefully I have solved the AutoCorrect and AutoFormat problems for now. Again, Thank You for such a timely response. Appreciate the help. K.
