If you mean that Word has stopped converting ":-)" into a smiley face, do the following: Click File > Options > Proofing > AutoCorrect Options. On the AutoCorrect tab, make sure that there is a check mark next to "Replace text as you type." You may also want to verify that ":-)" is in the list of AutoCorrect entries.
