I have been using Word Vista on my MacBook happily for 3 or 4 months and in
normal type, when a '-' is inserted, the system has always automatically
lengthened the minus sign to a longer dash (an en dash?) as soon as the space
after the following word is entered. It has suddenly stopped doing that and I
am left with minimalist minus signs even in updates of documents where such
signs have automatically been lengthened in the past. I can find nothing in
autocorrect etc where this function is mentioned. What has happened, please?
Thanks for any help.
it's in the autoformat section of autocorrect - "Replace symbol
characters with symbols"

That's it! Thankyou very much indeed. Now the mystery is: how on earth did that get turned off? But at least I know where to find it now if it happens / I do it again. Thanks for your help.
