Chapter 2: Working With OpenOffice.org

Using Automatic Functions

OpenOffice.org has all kinds of intelligent assistants to help, all of which have names

beginning with “auto”.

The section introduces a few of these auto-functions. For detailed explanations, refer to the

OpenOffice.org Help.

Using AutoCorrect and AutoFormat

In addition to catching typing errors, OpenOffice.org can format documents while typing or

afterwards. AutoFormat and AutoCorrect permit the user to draft documents much more

efficiently by automatically formatting and correcting common errors while the user types.

Here are a couple of examples.

• AutoCorrect is useful if one often makes the same typing errors. For example, if one tends

to capitalize not only the first letter of some words but also the second, simply select the

AutoCorrect function that corrects mistakes of this sort while typing.

• AutoFormat formats texts. One AutoFormat feature automatically will detect paragraphs

beginning with a hyphen followed by a tab or space, and reformat the paragraph as a bullet

point. The automatic bulleting is then applied to any paragraphs that follow as well.

Automatic bulleting ends when the user enters a blank paragraph containing only a

Return.

In text documents, toggle AutoFormat on or off by selecting Format >AutoFormat. A

submenu with three selections appears. To automatically format while typing, check the

While Typing selection. To have Writer automatically format the entire document or the

current selection at a later time, check the menu selection Apply. Selecting Apply and Edit

Changes lets the user see all document changes made via AutoFormat. The user then may

accept or reject all changes or may review each change separately.

One may also select and set the options in Tools > AutoCorrect. AutoCorrect offers many

options that can be selectively turned on and off. Some of these offer different methods for

formatting while typing and post-processing. The Replace and Exceptions lists are language

dependent. OpenOffice.org first searches in the list of the language of the text, then the list

for the higher ranking language family, and finally in all installed languages (For example,

first in "English (US)", then in "English", then in "All Languages").
