*123* changes to 123 with botd fonts
We are in the process of migration from Lotus Notes to Exchange 2007 and
outlook 2007 with OfficeXP. We have migrated 300 users lastweek. After migration couple of users have strange problems with Calendar Meeting Invitation. I organise meeting through conference call and send the participation code as below. ----------------------------------- Calling number *123456* Participation code *45678* ---------------------------------- Many users (not all) received as below ----------------------------------- Calling number 123456 Participation code 45678 ----------------------------------- The numbers 123456 and 45678 are in Bold font. But same When we did testing at our (support group) end we did not have this problem. If we send the mail to those users, then they receive *123456* & *045678* not as bold font. We have checked the users default font settings with ours and found no change. Need to address this issue before we to confinue with other users. Thank you in advance. |

*123* changes to 123 with botd fonts
I believe its to do with Word 2007, if used as the email editor Word
'autocorrect'? changes *1234* to 1234 bold font Similar to if you type a URL its formatted to Blue underlined "Bheem" wrote in message ...

Wrapping text in asterisks is a shortcut for applying bold format. It should
convert at the time the senders types it in, not at a later point. Was it received directly in Exchange/Outlook or imported from Notes? -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

Word 2007's AutoCorrection feature turns strings surrounded by asterisks into that string in a bold font. Likewise, if the string is suppounded with underscores (i.e., _xxxx_), the string is displayed in italics. The delimiters get removed when the font changes. However, when composing a new mail message, even though you're using the same basic Word engine, the asterisks or underscores don't get removed. I'm in the process of brining this up with Microsoft. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

However, when composing a new mail message, even though you're using the same basic Word engine, the asterisks or underscores don't get removed. I'm in the process of brining this up with Microsoft. I don't have Word 2007. In Word 2002, the trick (other than disable the auto-format option) is to hit the backspace key right after entering the asterisked string. You don't end up actually backspacing (to delete characters) but it just removes the auto-formatting. That is, after auto-format has converted the asterisked string to a bolded string, hitting the backspace (immediately after the asterisked string) unbolds that string and returns the asterisks. I'm still using Word 2002. It has the auto-format setting for bolding of asterisked strings; however, it is off in my install of Word 2002. Could be I disabled it or could be it was disabled by default at install time. Personally I never saw the advantage of having to hit Shift+8 (to get an asterisk) versus Ctrl+B (to start and end bolding). It's the same number of keystrokes so nothing is saved in keystroke count. By the way, when I'm in Word 2002 and the bold auto-format option is enable, the asterisk does get removed. When I save the document (with asterisked-bolded strings that got auto-formatted to Word-bolded strings) as a web page, there are no asterisks, just the B/B tag pair. When saved as an .rtf file and use a hex editor, there are no asterisks. When saved as a .txt file, there are no asterisks (and obviously no bolding, either). Must be a bug in Word 2007. |

The rsponse I received from Microsoft is that this is "by design" so that the semantics of the text are preserved even if the message is changed to plain text. I'll check Outlook 2010 to see if the behavior is the same there. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
