Entering and Formatting Text Automatically
This section deals with certain automatic functions that involve entering and formatting text.
Disabling the AutoCorrect Function
Writer has functions that are turned on by default to correct many common typing errors as
one works. However, this behaviour may not always be desirable. Any automatic correction
can be reversed immediately after it is made by pressing (Ctrl-Z).
Below is a description of the places in OpenOffice.org where one can disable automatic
corrections (and re-enable them):
ASCII Quotation marks are replaced with Custom Quotes
1. Open a text document.
2. Choose Tools > AutoCorrect.
3. Click on the Custom Quotes tab. Uncheck Replace.
Sentences always begin with a capital letter
1. Open a text document.
2. Choose Tools > AutoCorrect.
3. Click on the Options tab. Unmark Capitalize first letter of every sentence.
A word is replaced with another word
1. Open a text document.
2. Choose Tools > AutoCorrect.
3. Click on the Replace tab. Look for the word pair and delete it.
