Autocorrect does not remain turned off

[Johnny Dollar]

I am using Word 2002

I make a template with no Autocorrect feature turned on
in it and save it, and test it by creating new
documents based on that template and see that every
feature of that template is carried over. So far so
good. But I come back two days later and use the same
template to create a new documentwhen and see that
_ALL_ features of Autocorrect have misteriously
returned, hence another five minutes of checking all
those checkmarks off. This has happened so many times
and has become a time wasting feature of Word for me.
How can I make a template containing _no_ Autocorrect
features and keep it so for all time? Thanks in advance
for your help.

Record the offending settings in a macro and add the code to both an
autoopen and an autonew macro in normal.dot - see

AutoCorrect options are program options, not template options. In other
words, the settings in the program will be in effect regardless of what
template you open. You might be able to use a macro to change the
settings for a particularl template.
