Formatting Text as You Type<br />

The Word list capabilities are just one example of the program’s ability to intuit how<br />

you want to format an element based on what you type. You can learn more about<br />

these and other AutoFormatting options <strong>by</strong> exploring the AutoCorrect dialog box.<br />

Display the Backstage view, click Options, click Proofing in the left pane of the Word<br />

Options dialog box, and then on the Proofing page, click AutoCorrect Options.<br />

On the AutoFormat As You Type page, you can see the options Word implements <strong>by</strong><br />

default, including bulleted and numbered lists. You can select and clear options to<br />

control AutoFormatting behavior.<br />

The AutoFormat As You Type page of the AutoCorrect dialog box.<br />

One interesting option is Border Lines. When this check box is selected, typing three<br />

consecutive hyphens (-) or three consecutive underscores (_) and pressing Enter<br />

draws a single line across the page. Three consecutive equal signs (=) draw a double<br />

line, and three consecutive tildes (~) draw a zigzag line.
