Actually, pressing Alt F does take you to the office menu, but you still have
to arrow up to Word Options. I don't know if this is a difference of Word 2007
or what. I pressed t to see if it would work, and it didn't go anywhere.

So pressing alt+f does not take you to the file menu where you can either
press t or arrow up to options?
I use Window Eyes which does not have the virtual menus. I must rely on the
ribbons in Word 2010. It is getting easier though.

I guess for me the problem may be that I am useing virtual menus (under JAWS
settings) because I do not see an options box. For me, where the proofread tab
is, what I get is...proofing submenu< spelling & grammar button<research
button<thesaurus button<translate button<translation screen dropdown button<set
language button<wordcount button.
So I am not sure where it might be.

are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most
frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented,
fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing
small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so
that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as
children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light
shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are
liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates
others."-Mariann Williamson

Hi Chanelle,
Thanks for these directions. I have Word 2007, and your directions worked
for me, too!
Great help!

Hello list,
To not have ... converted to ellipses do the following.
Press alt f and then the letter t for options.
Arrow down to proofreading.
Tab to autocorrect.
Make sure that replace text as you type is unchecked. This should take
care of the ellipses. If you don't want to uncheck that option there are two
combo boxes to specify options. In the first, arrow down to select ... In the
second, delete the ellipses character and write in ...
Control tab twice until you get to the autoformat as you type tab.
Uncheck straight quotes with smart quotes. I don't know what smart quotes are.
Also uncheck hyphens with m dash. Uncheck the same boxes on the autoformat tab
(control tab once from the autoformat as you type tab).
I hope this helps. I figured this out just by playing around with the
options.
Chanelle

Hi Em,
I followed your instructions and went to proof but could never find the
ellipses anywhere under auto correct. Do you or anyone else have any other
suggestions? Thanks.

Hi all,
To change the ellipses, you need to remove the AutoCorrect entry for it.
This menu is located under File, Options, Proofing, AutoCorrect Options.
I believe the keystrokes for this are ALT+F to open the File tab
T to open the options menu
Down arrow, down arrow to get to the proofing tab
Tab once then enter to select the AutoCorrect Options button
Towards the bottom of that dialog box, it lists everything that will auto
convert. You can add things or remove them if you no longer want the
conversion. On mine, the ellipses is the fifth entry down, but that will
change depending on how you've customized it.
Note, on this same AutoCorrect menu (but on the AutoFormat tab) is where
you can also change the Smart quote to regular quote conversion.
Hope that helps,
Em

Hi.
I can't be certain about the tripple dots. I fix this every time I
install
a new version of Word but I never remember the exact steps I take to do
it.
I believe it is under the autocorrect option though. I'm sorry I can't be
of more help.

Hi, Everyone,
I have several questions about Word 2010 and cannot find answers.
First, I use Window Eyes and currently cannot get the "page break" to
speak.
Does anyone know how I can change that?
Also, how do I change the ellipsis symbol to appear as three dots?
As answers to these questions may not be of interest to the entire list,
please feel free to contact me off list at:
Loralee.castner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Help would be appreciated.
