How do I get Open Office writer:
1) to stop automatically completing words I'm typing, whether or not they're the actual words I want?
2) to cease hightlighting what it sees as misspelled and foreign words for which I long ago confirmed the correct spelling. Each time I open any given document, the system highlights them.
I've poked around on the various language options a few times and can't seem to freeze these pesky and unnecessary features.
Thanks!
