Stop formatting of bold autocorrect
I have placed words in autocorrect that are bold, but when I use them in my
document, it automatically starts me on a new line! I have unchecked most of the boxes in autoformat and autoformat as you type. Any help? |

Stop formatting of bold autocorrect
You have created a *formatted* AutoCorrect entry that contains a paragraph
mark or line break. Delete the AutoCorrect entry and recreate it, making sure not to include anything but the actual (formatted) text. You can make this task easier by pressing Ctrl+Shift+8; Word displays nonprinting marks (paragraph marks display as ¶ symbols). For more on nonprinting marks, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/NonPrintChars.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "SLKJ" wrote: I have placed words in autocorrect that are bold, but when I use them in my document, it automatically starts me on a new line!

Stop formatting of bold autocorrect
Thank you so much - you were right. I also figured out that my "smart
cursor" was on so even though I tried to just highlight the word, it included the line break. You solved a huge problem for me! Many thanks!

Glad I could help.
The setting you need to turn off to prevent Word from automatically selecting the paragraph mark might have different names in different versions of Word; in Word 2007 it is called "Use smart paragraph selection" (Office button | Word Options, Advanced category, under "Editing options"). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "SLKJ" wrote: Thank you so much - you were right.
