Thanks Richard. I all of the settings are OK. It still does not work.

Once you type in something that's in your replacement table, you need to hit a space before the actual replacement takes place. For example, if you type "teh" which will be replaced by "the", nothing will happen until you put a space after the "teh". I'm guessing this isn't the cause of your problem, but just in case it is, I thought I'd mention it. 2. Go the the Format menu, and select Autoformat. Is "While Typing" checked? If so, that's what you want. If not, then that's the cause of the problem. With this unchecked, no type of auto-correction is performed. 3. Go to Tools > Autocorrect > Options. The first selection is "Use replacement table". This should be checked. If not, then no auto-replacement will happen. Hopefully, the cause of your problem is one (or more) of the above three things, all of which are easily corrected. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
