Turn off AutoCorrect in Word programmatically
I'm writing this application in C# that uses word documents. I tried to save
what users typed in Word into the database. Word automatically changes symbols like -, ', ". And when i get it out from the database again, these symbols are corrupted. now i want to turn off AutoCorrect in word programmatically. |

Nothing much to do with AutoCorrect. What you had in the Word file were
n-dashes and curly quotes. "AutoCorrect as you type" will help users insert the typographically correct characters, but the problem is at your end. These characters are in the Windows code page (codes 150, 145, 146, 147, 148), but not in ISO 8859-1 (Latin 1). All the characters with codes between 128 and 159 will be problematic, though the others (like the ellipsis ...) aren't as widely used. If you don't mind loosing the info, you could replace them with the hyphen and straight single/double quotes before you feed the text to the data base? Or check the import/export options of your database program so it doesn't mess with those characters. Regards, Klaus "Supermozzie" wrote: I'm writing this application in C# that uses word documents.

The options can be found in Word - Tools menu - AutoCorrect Options, so i
thought this is under AutoCorrect. |
