Soft Hyphens/AutoCorrect Conflict

G

GregMcKay

There is an error in Microsoft Word 2007's use of soft hyphenation rules.
Whenever you place a soft hyphen in a word and it splits the word, and the
first part of the word is contained as an entry in the AutoCorrect list, the
first part of the word will be (inappropriately) expanded to match the
AutoCorrect list, when that is not at all what is wanted.

This bug has been reported in previous versions; unfortunately, it has not
yet been deemed important enough to be fixed.
