Autoformat of special characters in French
Hi, often when I'm typing in French, after a few pages of work, Word will
start autoformatting my special characters in a weird way. For instance, I'll type: "d'une" and Word will change it to "dĂșne", which is not even an accent that occurs in French. I can't find any way to turn this feature off, and it only starts happening after I've been typing for two or three pages. Any ideas? Thanks! |

Autoformat of special characters in French
Hi ?B?cGFudHM=?=,
often when I'm typing in French, after a few pages of work, Word will start autoformatting my special characters in a weird way. For instance, I'll type: "d'une" and Word will change it to "dĂșne", which is not even an accent that occurs in French. I can't find any way to turn this feature off, and it only starts happening after I've been typing for two or three pages. Any ideas? My newsreader doesn't like the Unicode MS uses on its web interface, so I'm not sure to what Word is changing these words, but... As a best guess: 1. You have Word 2002 or 2003 2. You have automatic language detection activated (Tools/Language/Set language) OR Windows is switching "Language Input" on you when you press Shift+Alt 3. You have another language, besides English and French, activated for Office (START/Programs/Microsoft Office/Microsoft Office Tools/"Language Settings") As a result, at some point Word has decided you're not typing French, but some other language (you should be able to see that in the status bar, just to the left of the spell check "book"). In the "tips" section of my website you'll find a discussion on how language formatting in Word is controlled. Read through that and see if you can track down what's happening and turn it off.
