Auto Number Conversion

Keywords:

All keywords must be defined as a separate single word entry, and cannot become a conflict.

Auto Number Conversion = ON

• Number-bar entries cannot be defined in the dictionary.
• If you do not use the number bar and you want Auto Number Conversion to format your numbers, you must have the English definition in words not digits. (Four not 4)
• If you do not use the number bar and you do not want Auto Number Conversion to format the number, enter your numbers in digits not words. (4 not Four)
• You cannot use the number symbol (#) with number entries defined as digits.

Auto Number Conversion = OFF

All numbers defined as digits must be defined in the dictionary with the number symbol (#) after the number. The result will be that there won’t be any spaces between the numbers that have the # symbol. You may also define the colon, comma, and period with the # and they will be treated as a character with no spaces.
