Subtle autoformatting behavior?
I've been moving bits of text around in a document I'm doing cleanup on, and
I noticed that Word automatically inserts a space after a comma. I don't mind that Word does this, but I like to know where and how such behavior could be turned off if I decided I didn't like it. I looked at the various "auto" options and tried to search in Help (on "comma"?) but couldn't find this covered. Anyone know? And, in a broader context, does anyone know of any reference (book, website) that takes a philosophical/comprehensive approach to navigating the waters of Word customization? For example, I mostly work on .docs created by other people, I'm often unsure of whether idiosyncratic formatting/customization is coming from local documents (strangely behaving paragraph returns, for instance) or whether I turned something on or off several projects ago. Thanks in advance, and sorry for being open-ended or vague in my questions. --WilliamW |

Subtle autoformatting behavior?
This undoubtedly comes under the general rubric of "Smart cut and paste"

Thanks, Suzanne. I figured it out 5 minutes after I sent my message.
