MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / October 2003Auto-text not working in some documents
I use an arrow (==>) quite often in my documents. Most of the time, "==>" gets converted into a true arrow. However, in some documents that I work with, the "==>" does not get converted. Why does the conversion NOT happen in some documents, and what can I do to correct the situation? Thanks for any help anyone can give me on this. Greg Hi Greg, You mean AutoCorrect, don't you? Or do you really mean AutoText? Can you think of any common denominator for the situations where it works vs. does not? For instance, have you started Word as your Outlook email editor when it doesn't work? which version of Word are we dealing with? > I use an arrow (==>) quite often in my documents.

AutoCorrect also fails to function if the text is set to No Proofing (terminology varies by version). Check the Language setting of the Style in use. Sometimes newly created styles are set to No Proofing by default.
