Word ‐ tip to get a full page width of odd underlines

There are some characters that when type at least three of the same on a line, all by themselves, and then you press the Enter key you will see those typed characters replaced by a full page width of another sort of underline character.

The six characters that I am aware of, that cause this to happen are:‐

underline ( _ ) [ Or as people name it now underscore ]

hash ( # ) The sign that people no use to indicate £ pound sign ( # )

dash (‐) [ Or as I know it, hyphen ]

asterisk ( * )

tilde (~ )

and

equals (=)

To try it out just open a Word document, on a new line type three pound signs (###) and then press the Enter key.

(Donʹt enter anything else, and also it wonʹt work on a line with other text on it, either.)

Hey Presto!!! The 3 #ʹs get replaced by a very attention getting type of underline. Impressive Yes?

Try out any of the other five types of characters, too. Pretty smart, Yes !
