What does "RTFM" automatically unabbreviate to? It takes about the same amount of effort to turn off the unabbreviate feature or to remove "msof" from the unabbreviate dictionary as it does to post to comp.risks whining about it. (Word Perfect does the same thing, btw -- every time I would write "section 4(c)" in a brief, it would turn it into "section 4[copyright symbol]". Turned off the feature. It doesn't do it any more.
