I typed nothing in the document, so no auto-correction should have occurred.
This document came from a client. There are hundreds of instances of
"B-triple" in it. Now that I've moved the file to another PC and opened it
in Word 2007, every B-triple is B-triple. Did 2010 bugger something up when
I saved the file to a memory stick? Or is 2007 playing funny buggers?
Methinks I'll have to devote a few more hours of unpaid time reading the
entire document before it goes back to the client with what should have only
been a handful of quick edits.
Bugger . the word of the day.

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?
