Geoffrey,

Word 2010 has possibly automatically applied a default Autoformat As You Type option, i.e. "Hyphens (--) with dash –" ??? If this Autoformat option IS set up in your copy of Word 2010, what happens if you turn it off, then re-open the 2007 document?

The above is sheer supposition ... I have no idea how Word 2010 works !!!

Neil.

But just before we all start singing the praises of  MS Word, tell me, folks, why have all the hyphens in a Word document I opened with Word 2010 suddenly become em dashes when I opened the same document, unchanged, in Word 2007?
