Turning Dashes into rule line?
All -
I was pasting some text from email very free form into a word document. I was separating authors with 4 or 5 dashes (hyphens). Word took my dashes and made them rule lines. I was appreciative, but if I ever want a string of dashes, how do I turn that off? ....best, Hash |

Hash, when Word changes your hyphens into border lines, immediately press
Ctrl+Z (or click the Undo button on the Standard toolbar) to turn them back into hyphens. If you want to disable this feature altogether, it's Tools AutoCorrect Options AutoFormat As You Type. Under Apply as you type, uncheck Border Lines. OK. (This is in Word 2003; procedure is similar in earlier versions.) -- DDM "DDM's Microsoft Office Tips and Tricks" Visit us at www.ddmcomputing.com wrote in message news:jlaGd.17367$B95.4796@lakeread02...
