You're not the first (or last) person to complain about the Auto-features in
Word. The real problem is that if they are OFF by default - most users will
never know about them. Because the are ON by default, most users don't know
what the hell is causing all these unexpected actions and it drives them
nuts!
Some of them are useful IF you know the whats and whyfores and expect 'it'
to happen; but generally speaking, even the dedicated (power) Word users
keep most of the features turned off!

I agree it is not practical to use DOS anymore because for : better or worse, the world has moved on to something different and that's : just the way it is. It would be nice if Word had a default setting that : turned all "features" off in the beginning and then a user could add them : one at a time as he learned how to use them. : : Bob : :
