I don't understand your question. Are you saying you are unable to type a
colon in Word?

Sounds like you want a list of something such as times (8:45, 10:15, etc.)
aligned on the colon. If so you need to take a look in Word Help re the use
of Tabs - specifically a Decimal Tab.

Or Maybe you are saying that whenever you type ( including brackets then
Microsoft Word automatically change it to "(" a bracket with smily face. If
this is the problem then Microsoft Word is using Auto Correct option.

To turn this off, click Tools - Auto Correct. In the Replace - With list
check an entry like , select and Delete this entry or you can also uncheck
"Replace text as you type" option, if you don't find that entry.

Hope this is what you were looking for. Let us know!
