Choose Tools > AutoCorrect Options to open the AutoCorrect dialog.

There you can define which strings of text are corrected and how. In

most cases, the defaults are fine.

AutoCorrect is turned on when Writer is installed. To turn it off,

uncheck Format > AutoCorrect > While Typing.

To stop Writer replacing a specific spelling, go to the Replace tab,

highlight the word pair, and click Delete.

To add a new spelling to the list, type it into the Replace and With

boxes on the Replace tab, and click New.

See the different tabs of the dialog for the wide variety of other options

available to fine-tune AutoCorrect.

Tip

AutoCorrect can be used as a quick way to insert special

characters. For example, (c) will be autocorrected to ©. You

can add your own special characters.

Using word completion

If Word Completion is enabled, Writer tries to guess which word you

are typing and offers to complete the word for you. To accept the

suggestion, press Enter. Otherwise continue typing.

To turn off Word Completion, select Tools > AutoCorrect Options >

Word Completion and deselect Enable word completion.

You can customize word completion from the Word Completion page

of the AutoCorrect dialog:

• Add (append) a space automatically after an accepted word.

• Show the suggested word as a tip (hovering over the word) rather

than completing the text as you type.

• Change the maximum number of words remembered for word

completion and the length of the smallest words to be

remembered.

• Delete specific entries from the word completion list.

• Change the key that accepts a suggested entry—the options are

Right arrow, End key, Return (Enter), and Space bar.

Note

Automatic word completion only occurs after you type a word

for the second time in a document.
