Auto Correct Feature

Post by allenanna41 »

I switched from Windows XP to OpenOffice and am having trouble using Auto Correct. Whenver I type a letter and misspell words such as adn (and) or ont (not), my auto correct feature does not correct the words. I followed all the directions and STILL it does not correct misspelled words. Can you help, please?

Please read the Survival Guide for the forum for next threads. One issue per thread. I've split your post and created a new thread for your envelope issue.

For AutoCorrect, this is a language sensitive feature so check what's the language for your (Default) paragraph style. I've tested and with English (USA), 'adn' is corrected to 'and' but 'ont' is corrected only if complete string is 'ont he' (which gives 'on the').

Thanks to add '[Solved]' in your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.

NB: also moved your thread in the Writer forum.
