"AutoFormat As You Type" makes changes to the formatting while you are
typing the text. With "AutoFormat" you have to ask it to make the changes,
which it does all in one go.
Format As You Type
==================
When you set options on the AutoFormat As You Type tab (Tools menu,
AutoCorrect Options command), Word can automatically format text as you're
typing your document. For example, if you type a number followed by a
period or hyphen, followed by a space or tab, followed by text, Word makes
the text a numbered list.
When Word applies automatic formatting, you can use the AutoCorrect Options
button to undo the action or change AutoFormat settings. Depending on the
situation, the entire button may appear or the button may first appear as a
small, blue box that changes to a button icon when you point to it.
AutoFormat
==========
When you use the AutoFormat dialog box (Format menu, AutoFormat command),
Word can format text in one pass, enabling you to review all the changes
Word makes and accept or reject each one.
Hope this helps.
