Problem with hyphen being replaced
We have a user who has disabled the options of replacing two hyphens with a
long dash in both AutoFormat as You Type and AutoFormat. Yet, when she types a space hyphen space, it automatically changes to a long dash. We have confirmed that no AutoCorrect or AutoText entries for this exist. We are using Word 2003 in an XP environment. Any ideas? Thank you. |

We have that one disabled. We're stumped!
But thanks so much for trying, Idaho Word Man! "Idaho Word Man" wrote: Check the "Auto Format as you Type" tab. There's another option hiding there. I hope this helps.

Problem with hyphen being replaced
FWIW, the dash you get from two hyphens is an em dash; the one you get from
space/hyphen/space is an en dash. But the same AutoFormat As You Type setting governs both, so I am mystified, especially since you've eliminated AutoCorrect entries as well. -- Suzanne S.
