  AutoFormat

What AutoFormat does:

Makes Internet addresses and email addresses into hyperlinks when you press enter

Replaces 2 hyphens (--) with a solid dash

Creates a numbered list after you type a number followed by a period, a space and text then hit enter

After a sentence and period, capitalizes the first word of the next sentence

When you start an outline, it automatically gives the next numbers/letters and sets the spacing -- it also re-numbers when you insert a line

Replaces ordinals (1st, 2nd) with superscript
