I use autocorrect. When I typed in the abbrivation that I want to use and hit
the space bar to continue on with my sentence, word does a hard return to the next line and I don't want it to do that. |

It sounds as if you have saved a paragraph break as part of the AutoCorrect
entry. -- Suzanne S.

How do I stop auto correct from doing a hard return
It would seem that you have the paragraph mark included in the
replacement text of the AutoCorrect entry. You need to remove it. First click the ¶ button on the toolbar so you can see the paragraph marks. Insert the existing AutoCorrect. Select the text you want, but be careful not to include the paragraph mark. Go to Tools AutoCorrect Options, where you'll see the selected text in the replacement box. Insert the abbreviation in the box to its left, click the Replace button, and answer Yes to the "Are you sure?" message. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
