Disruptive Word options
Deactivate the following options in Word to prevent unwanted characters from reaching the
text:
In the dialog box "Tools" → "AutoCorrect Options" go to the "AutoFormat as you type" tab
and under "Replace as you type" check:
• "Straight quotes" with "Smart quotes"
• English ordinals (1st) with superscript
• Fractions (1/2) with fraction character (½)
• Special characters (--) with symbols (—)
"Apply as you type":
• Automatic bulleted lists
• Automatic numbered lists
If you do leave any of the options active then you can always use Ctrl+Z to undo any
automatic corrections. As a general rule this will give the same results as if the option was
deactivated.
3.2 Inputting characters via the Character Map
Note
The Character Map integrated in Word (menu commands "Insert" → "Symbol...") is not
suitable for generating code page-encoded text files, as it cannot be limited to the relevant
code page.
Use the "Character Map" system program as described below.
Selecting the Character Map
1. In the start menu:
select "Programs" → "Accessories" → "System Tools" → "Character Map" to start the
"Character Map" tool.
2. From "Font", choose the same font type as you have selected for the text file.
