"I wanted to delete some fonts, but didn't, and that is when these problems began".
- Why did you want to delete some fonts, and which fonts?
- Why did you decide not to do it?
- Obviously you did something, or things wouldn't have changed? What exactly did you do?
"I uninstalled and reinstalled at least 10 times"
- What did you uninstall and reinstall? Fonts? Office 2003? Windows XP?
And 2 other questions:
- Did you already delete normal.dot? Might help.
- What happens if you add the autocorrect entries for the smilies manually again, now they disappeared mysteriously?

has failed. For some reason, when I type the characters for a smilie : - ), it does not change to a smiling face. I check the Auto Correct options and the faces of the smilies have disappeared. I'm using Office 2003 Word & Outlook & WinXP Pro and never had these problems with Office 2000 & Win98se. I wanted to delete some fonts but didn't & that is when the problems began. Can someone Help? I use these symbols a lot & have uninstalled/re-installed at least 10 times but nothing seems to help.
