I may have been infected with all those quick brown foxes and lazy dogs
yesterday ;-) Today, all was back where I started yesterday and nor could I get the AutoCorrect to work as I experienced and described yesterday (I did not deselect “Replace text as you type” yesterday). So now I am sure I was wrong about AutoCorrect - I am really sorry. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Bob Buckland ?:-)" wrote: Hi Lene, This didn't work for me in Word 2003 using either the plain or formatted entries in Autocorrect. If you unchecked the Autocorrect option to [x] Replace text as you type, that could disable the =rand() replacement, but also the rest of the autocorrect entries as well. ================== "Lene Fredborg" wrote in message news 
I made an experiment and found a method that seems to disable - or mayberather replace - the "feature": I created an AutoCorrect entry (Tools AutoCorrect options) and entered "=rand()" in both the "Replace" and "With" fields. However, I you want to be able to enable the "feature" again, you may not want to use that method - it seems as if it is gone even if the AutoCorrect entry is deleted (so who knows, I may regret that I tried...). -- Regards Lene Fredborg -- Bob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends*
