I would really appreciate it if someone could give me a precise example of Autoformat while you type (AWYT) in the mode where the system intuits the format to apply from what has gone before (so-called format tracking).

I mean an example that tells me:

• Exactly what I type, to get things started.
• What I type to provide enough of a signature to signal a change in formatting.
• What I should observe, as the result of the additional format or style settings that the system has made.

This facility is mentioned in a number of Microsoft despatches, but none I have encountered so far has an easily verified and practical example of the type I have asked for here.

There is even a suspicion that the facility does not exist or has never worked, but there is a reluctance to admit it.

(Note that this is totally distinct from the Heading, enter, enter format and tab, Heading, enter, enter format and tab, tab, Heading, enter, enter format which work fine and are also very useful.)
