By default, Microsoft Word has a lot of automated typing and formatting options switched on. For example, if you type a few dashes, then press return, Word will convert it to a solid line across the page, or typing "teh" will auto-correct to "the".
To turn off all of these features, follow these steps...
Launch Microsoft Word, or bring it to the front if it's already running. Go to the “Word” menu, then “Preferences”. Click “AutoCorrect”. Turn OFF “Automatically correct spelling and formatting as you type”.
I usually write a blog post about once a week. The latest post can be viewed here: Are We the Baddies?: Maybe you should ask yourself: are we the baddies? (posted 2025-11-24 at 17:01:10). I do podcasts too!. You can listen to my latest podcast, here: OJB's Podcast 2025-11-06 Democracy v Bureaucracy: It's not left versus right which I am complaining about: it is bureaucracy versus democracy!.
