The directions in help don't seem to do anything.

In Word, click on Tools | AutoCorrect Options | AutoFormat As You Type, and
uncheck everything (or whatever things you don't want Word to do automatically). "Gloria Burt" wrote: The directions in help don't seem to do anything. |

Thanks. I did all that and when I go to bold a line, it bolds the whole
document (or underlines it....). g "garfield-n-odie" wrote: In Word, click on Tools | AutoCorrect Options | AutoFormat As You Type, and uncheck everything (or whatever things you don't want Word to do automatically). "Gloria Burt" wrote: The directions in help don't seem to do anything. |

Jay: thanks. I turned everything off and I still have a problem when I bold
a line or underline a line, it does the whole document. I downloaded and attempted to install the macro but am guessing I did it wrong since it won't run. Is there any other options to turn off besides autocorrect? g "Jay Freedman" wrote: On Tue, 28 Dec 2004 19:37:02 -0800, "Gloria Burt" Gloria wrote: The directions in help don't seem to do anything.

That's a different question, which has a different answer. Turn off
"automatically update" in your style definitions. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...eformatted.htm for more info. "Gloria" wrote: Thanks.

How do I turn off auto formatting in Word 2003?
Hi -- I'm having a similar problem where I want to use my own, custom-built
auto-corrections about 50% of the time, and the rest of the time I want almost none of them. I've posted my problem, but I'm still looking around to see if there's something here related to my issue. I was excited when I saw this macro, and I installed it, too, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Or maybe it's only affecting the auto-corrects that are hardwired in Word, and ignores the ones I've added myself? I know this is an old post (here with the link to the macro) but if anyone still looks this far back, I'd love some advice. Thanks, --Kate "Gloria" wrote: Jay: thanks.
