How do I stop Word from replacing characters?
For example, I use a lot of €śthree periods at the end of a sentence€ť when I
write... Word replaces the three periods that I type with a single character that has three dots in it... I dont like that, because it's much harder to see, and if I copy what I just wrote and paste it in to an application, the character frequently is turned in to some gibberish character. As an example, I am typing this response up in Word, rather than in my browser window€¦ I want the spellchecking to point out what my laziness misses. I will copy it and paste it in to the window and post it€¦ we shall see if the €śthree dot€ť character comes across distorted or not€¦ |

How do I stop Word from replacing characters?
If you don't want Word to replace three periods, do the following: On
the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect. Click the AutoCorrect tab. Locate the "..." entry, select it, and press Delete. Click OK to close the dialog box. Note that if you don't want to delete the AutoCorrect entry, in situations where you don't want the autocorrection, you can press Ctrl+Z to undo it. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Scott Atkins" wrote in message ...
