Default Change hyphens to dashes isn't working in XP (Word 2007)


In the AutoFormat as you type settings, I have it set to automatically change hyphens to dashes but it's not working in XP. It was doing the same thing in Vista but I was able to fix it by disabling the setting then re-enabling it, but it didn't work in XP. I searched online but I'm not finding anything. Can anyone think of a reason why it might be doing this? but Thanks.

I found a workaround by adding a custom entry to "Replace text as you type" in the AutoCorrect tab. If anyone has any advice on why the AutoFormat alone isn't doing the job it'll be appreciated. Otherwise the workaround is working fine.
