Are you sure that you don't have the abbrev....sm

put incorrectly in the ESP? Otherwise, you might find the entry in the Word dictionary. In Word go to the "AutoCorrect" tab and click on "Exceptions." See if the word with the period is in there. You should click on 3 tabs after getting into Exceptions (FirstLetter, INitial Caps and Other Corrections) to make sure the abbreviated word is there. It's my guess that is where you will find it as Word has a tendency to be the "grammar police," if you will. If you want to avoid this in the future, uncheck the Automatically Add Words to the List at the bottom of each of the 3 tabs and that should prevent any further entries. Hope this helps you!

Delete the abbrev and put it in again sm
You have inadvertently hit the enter key at some point in this process.  If you have added it as a Smart Block, this is just what happens and is why I don't use that facet of it in Word.
How many Abbrev Expanders do you have?

Just wondering - how many abbreviations explanders do you guys have - I have 2650.  I don't know if that is a lot or not.  Just wondering?
