Gatt Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Ok, It's probably not a true easter egg but.. Just found that if you type *text* (inlcuding the *'s) it auto converts it to BOLD! Nopt sure what others there are...
webman Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Asterisks against words has worked in Word as far back as 2000 I think.
jamesb Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 _italic_ is one, then there's "smart quotes", superscript ordinals (1st etc), -- replaced with one long dash, and a few others like autoformatting - list item one - list item two into a proper list. It's actually Word's autocorrect formatting.
Gatt Posted July 16, 2010 Author Posted July 16, 2010 I knew a few of them, but never seen this one happen before - and the asterisk one does not appear to work in Word 2010...
