I have created a template (wd 2003) that generates a document where editable areas are restricted by Styles.

This works great. However I have just discovered that AutoCorrect>Auto Format as you Type options do not function in the editable area, and specifically that even tho the option is checked, the following features do not function:

Smart Quotes replace Straight quotes
Ordinals as Superscript
Fractions with Fraction Character
double Hyphens with a dash

and so on

Has anyone else encountered this problem and found a solution?

Thanks
Fiona

Silly me!

I've found the solution
ActiveDocument.AutoFormatOverride = True
