[Solved] Two-letter autocorrect

Post by Miscreant »

Why can’t I autocorrect “ot” to “to”?
Lots of my typos are “wrong hand first,” and this one happens a lot.
It seems less than three letters won’t work.

Two letters - ot -> to - works for me in Apache OpenOffice 4.1.5 Writer - perhaps there is a difference in how AndrOpen Offfice handles tyops :mrgreen:

This is a third party port of Apache OpenOffice - I doubt anyone here can help you with AndrOpen Office; there is an email address for bug reporting on the Google Playstore site which might help. The website listed on Google Playstore doesn't seem very helpful for support.

Works fine for me, just entered that new entry in Tools>AutoCorrect Options, Replace tab. Make sure that the language for which you create the new entry is the one you type in for the text.

Seriously? "Wrong hand first" typo when typing on a phone?

Are you talking about an installation other than the one you mention in your signature, or do you connect a keyboard to your phone?

First, I only used the phone for sending that message. I had the problem on my desktop. Since it worked for someone else, I tried it again. It still didn't work. Then I replaced the correction with an identical one and it worked just fine. Maybe the latest update cured the problem. Anyway, all is good now. Thanks for the help.
