[Solved] Autocorrect insists on capitalizing 1st letter

Post by rjmnook@gmail.com »

This is driving me nuts. I want to stop the automatic capitalization of the first letter of a sentence or paragraph.
Autocorrect>options>Capitalize first letter is off for both M and T.
Format>Autocorrect while typing is off.
Format>Change case has no effect.
Ctrl-Z does not reverse the autocorrection.

How do I stop this?

I'm creating a flyer for a concert.

First two lines are:
Lunchtime Recital
by <=== is autocorrected to By
Sonamus

I'm using 4.0.0

Help much appreciated.

A quick guess is that you need to replace your user profile. See Replace User Profile[. This tends to cure all sorts of bizarre behaviour in OpenOffice.

Autocaps is a new one to me but it may work.

I have to support the suggestion of replacing your User Profile, as I tried your example text with the settings you describe, and get the results you are wanting.
I then tried the same text, but leaving on the Autocorrect options that you have indicated are to be Off... and still got the results that you are wanting.

Thank you very much. Refreshing the profile has fixed it.
