Well, great forum:



A couple of other issues I would greatly appreciate help with please?

1 When I open a document it is polluted by lots of little markings. Dots between every word, arrows where I've tabbed, and a weird vertical double line at the start/end of every new line. I just want clean, plain text.

2 I cannot seem to set the default line spacing to a single space. I open a macro and it comes out double-spaced which is useless to me. How can I set a default so that all my documents are single-spaced.

3 On my "old" version of Word, I could set an autocorrect to replace one piece of text for another. For example, if I typed "thm", I had set autocorrect to type "Thank you for referring this gentleman", thus saving me a lot of time over a whole letter. I don't know how to do this in Word 2010.

I'm sorry if all this is pretty basic, but your advice would be most welcome.

Are you using Word 2013 or 2010? - It does not matter for these questions. Just asking.
