Selecting this menu item once will terminate the autocorrection behavior permanently. On the AutoCorrect tab, you can disable features you dislike, such as the auto capitalization of first letters of sentences, and disable this feature all together. In the Word Options window, click the Proofing option. That option’s text changes depending on the specific correction for example, it will read ‘Stop Automatically Creating Bulleted Lists’ when you type a > symbol. Click Options in the left navigation pane. Click the box and select the second option in the menu.
If you don’t want “…” to become an ellipsis or “-” to turn into a page-wide horizontal line, or if you dislike any other automatic “corrections” that Microsoft Office performs by default, follow these steps.
