Auto format --------

[Jim Bunton]

Word 2000
when I use a part line of -------------
to separate one part of my document from another
Word automatically converts it to 'something else' a row of some charatcetr
it chooses and makes this a full row.

The same occures for
*********
_________
=========

I want to switch this feature off but haven't been able to find out how to
do this.

I would prefer to retain some of the autoformat features rather than have o
turn them all off.

Tools > autocorrect options > autoformat as you type > uncheck - Apply as
you type 'border lines'.
