Auto-correct is language specific. Check the language of the current text.

All formatting changes are best made in the paragraph style. Right-click, edit paragraph style, Font (for language), and Font Effects (for colour).

See that thread : [Tutorial] Spell check and Language configuration. Same kind of issue.

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