Turn off MS Word autocorrect

There is nothing more annoying that to have MS Word try and guess how you want your document formatted.

Have you encountered one or more of the many annoying habits of MS word?

1) Always capitalizing your first word in the sentence, even if you are try to write some sort of code.
2) Auto starting a numbered or bulleted list that is indented that you can make go away just because you started a numbered list?
3) A random line across the page that you can’t select or delete?

Well turn that shit off.

Go to Tools/AutoCorrect Options and Unselect everything. All of the crap in there is going to try and guess as you type what it is that you want on the page, even if you don’t want it. I have had whole documents reformat themselves just because I typed
1)
2)
Or a tab key while in an indented part of text.

There seemed to be no undo to a mass tab/indent reformatting when it happens. I don’t want MS to friggen guess what it is I am doing and I want to format my text my way. In fact, everytime that I have wanted Word to follow a certain format, ie double spaced. The damn thing fucks it up somewhere and can’t even get that right.

I’ll do my own formatting thank you.

I did decide it would be big fun to set the Autocorrect feature. I set “Sincerely” to “Go bleep yourself” and want to set my bosses from “Senior Director” to “Grand Poh-Ba Extraordinare” Or “big fat Tard” which ever floats my boat at the time.

No one read this crap but me anyway.
