Disruptive Word options
Deactivate the following options in Word to prevent unwanted characters from reaching the
text:
In the dialog box "Tools" → "AutoCorrect Options" go to the "AutoFormat as you type" tab
and under "Replace as you type" check:
• "Straight quotes" with "Smart quotes"
• English ordinals (1st) with superscript
• Fractions (1/2) with fraction character (½)
• Special characters (--) with symbols (—)
"Apply as you type":
• Automatic bulleted lists
• Automatic numbered lists
If you do leave any of the options active then you can always use Ctrl+Z to undo any
automatic corrections. As a general rule this will give the same results as if the option was
deactivated.
