1. Insert the arrow in your document. Select it and open Tools | AutoCorrect
Options. It will already be inserted in the "With" box. Be sure to check the
"Formatted text" radio button.
2. Insert any of these built-in AutoCorrect arrows, select it, and open the
Insert Symbol dialog. The corresponding Wingdings character will be
selected.
Thank you. That's a great tip.
3. Any AutoCorrect entry is inserted when you press the spacebar or type a
"punctuation" character. The built-in arrows are made up of "punctuation,"
so they are inserted immediately; your "Replace" text ends with an
alphabetic character, so you don't get the same effect. What happens if you
use v-- instead? (Possibly not a good idea if you ever want an em dash
following a v.)
4. Good question.
It would also be very handy if typing a few characters of the string
would position the left column in that part of the list.
5. Because it's "formatted." The same is true of the built-in AutoCorrect
entries for Wingdings arrows.
