Hasn't word done this simce about offoce 2007? the autoformat as you type feature, specifically...
I only know this because I fucking hate it and have been religiously turning it off
Weirdly it usually turns hyphens into en dashes instead of em dashes from what I’ve seen, which makes no sense at all.

Brilliant point!
