I often use plural s within quotation marks like (s) and I frequently use (?)
but in Word 2007 I'm getting a symbol when I try and type that combination.
I've gotten two or three different symbols or actually smilies when I try and
use these keys like above. I certainly have never seen smilies in Word and am
wondering where my settings have gone wrong to move standard key strokes to
such symbols and smilies.

Thanks!

Click on the Office button and then on Word Options and then on Proofing and
then on AutoCorrect Options and in the list in the Replace text as you type
items, see if there are entries for the key combinations that are being
replaced, and select and delete them. The (s) and (?) do not result in any
replacement on my machine, like the (c) does, but as items can be added to
the list, those combinations may have been added to your machine.
