AutoFormat can format a document as you type. AutoFormat analyzes your text as you type and then applies the appropriate formatting. For example, if AutoFormat detects a heading, it can automatically apply a heading style; if AutoFormat detects a table, it can apply a table format. If you have any Internet or e-mail addresses in a document, AutoFormat automatically formats them as hyperlinks.

Enable or disable automatic formatting options on the AutoFormat As You Type page in the AutoCorrect dialog box, available in Proofing in Word Options . The options on this page are grouped under Replace as you type , Apply as you type , and Automatically as you type . Enable or disable any or all AutoFormat options as desired.
