[mso] Re: Word2003: Autocorrect Is Intermittent

Hi David and Janine,

Thank you for your replies.

<<The -- is converted to a dash quite a long time after you type it ..>>
<<if you have "1915 -- 2008 something else" and the hyphens haven't converted, 
type a space immediately to the right of the 8, then delete one of the 
unwanted spaces.>>

Typing the non-alphanumeric character following a double hyphen works as you 
described it. Mystery solved. Thank you.
