Word 2010 not replacing "-->" with arrow character
In previous versions of Word entering "-->" would be automatically replaced with a light arrow pointing right, "<--" with a light arrow pointing left, "==>" with a heavy arrow pointing right, and "<==" with a heavy arrow pointing left. This does not seem
to be happening in Word 2010. I can't find any options for this in the Auto-Correct/Auto-Format settings. What do I need to do in order to get this behavior back?
That's a standard AutoCorrect entry, but it may have been deleted.
Via Insert>Symbol>Wingdings, insert those symbols into a document and then with the symbol selected use File>Options>Proofing>AutoCorrect Options>AutoCorrect to create AutoCorrect Entries from them by having the appropriate key strokes replaced by that symbol.
