Bro. Pat:

Cool discovery! My discoveries have been more annoying than cool.
Example: when writing up a test or worksheet and using a), b).....when
I get to c, Word converts the c) to the copyright symbol! Also, it
won't allow me to type QBasic.....it always converts the word to Qbasic.

I know that there is a way to shut off the automatic replacements....I
just always forget to do it.

On the other hand, I do like it when you type --> and Word converts it
to a solid arrow.

To all:

I hope that everyone is having a great school year. Is anyone out there
currently teaching C++? If so, how's it going? We are preparing to
teach C++ next year. I went to a workshop last summer at Temple U. that
was good, but I would have liked an extra week. I was supposed to go to
a workshop at Pace U. in NYC next month, but it filled up quickly.
