Take the 2-minute tour ×  I have a weird problem with Microsoft
Word 2010. I use another program to put text blocks into my Word
documents, for stuff which I use a lot. Now one of those is the
"[...]" placeholder. All fine so far. Yet when I want to revert
this, usually just using Ctrl+Z (German keyboard), then I'd
expect it to delete the whole "[...]", but it doesn't! It only
removes the "]" and then after another Ctrl+Z press the first
"." and so on. But why?? I'm sure this is some stupid auto-
correct setting, how do I find and delete it?  And is there any
lesson I can learn from this about the system how Word "works"
concerning auto-correct or reverting changes?  share|improve

be able to check if you have anything setup for auto correct
here  File > Options > Proofing > AutoCorrect Options  This
could also be caused by your other program passing extra
information to Word. I usually will remove all formatting by
pasting what I want into notepad
