When I type - it changes it to - this longer version. Is there any way I
can stop it?



Thanks

This is an AutoFormat As You Type feature. The exact steps to turn it
off depend on your version of Word. If you are using Word 97-2003, you
should clear the replacing of "Symbol characters (--) with symbols (—)"
in Tools | AutoCorrect Options, AutoFormat As You Type tab.
 
Note also that if you want to take advantage of some of the other AutoFormat
features covered by this option, you can press Ctrl+Z (Undo) after the
AutoFormat takes place.

Yes thank you.
I have a lot of quick entries via the auto correct - so got that working
quite well but just absolutely confounded by the simple issue with the long
& short hyphens.
