If I understand correctly, you want the end of words to be changed automatically from xxxcion to xxxción.
Not possible unless you use a macro I guess.

I think you mean AutoCorrect, not AutoText. AutoText inserts pre-defined text when F3 is pressed. AutoCorrect uses a replacement table to automatically replace complete words or abbreviations, but it can't replace parts of words. You can use Find & Replace to manually replace parts of words.

See AutoHotKey which does what you require - when I type thakns it changes it to thanks.

Example: Auto-correct cion into ción within word. Demonstrate with word nacion nación and naciones.
tks, I wanted more comfort than FIND & REPLACE. F&R will replace naciones into naciónes, which is wrong. So every replacement needs to be done one by one to avoid creating errors using F&R robot. I want the replacement to happen immediately after the letter sequence is entered followed by 1 space.
"Can not be done" is the correct answer. Unfortunately!

The Autocorrect function of the LibreOffice can work INSIDE the words. It can replace a part of a word immediately. Bus - in my opinion - it is a littlebit "dangerous" function.

I think it is better to set all of the possible (what you often use) whole "wrong word forms" - and the right pair of them - into the dictionary of the Autocorrect.
