[Solved] OA won't let me write ?!

Post by ughautoformat »

God, I'm so tired of all this autoformatting nonsense. No matter what options I deselect, I can't fix this problem.

When I try to write

What?!

it turns it into

What?

and for the life of me I can't simply put a ? next to a !.

Can anyone tell me what option controls this? Thanks.

Re: OA won't let me write ?!, how do I turn this off?

Try /Tools /Autocorrect Options, Replace tab, and check to see if ?! is listed to replace with ?. If so, highlight it and press Delete button.

It is not present by default on my system.
