I'm not sure what's usually done in US English, but in UK English either is
acceptable. A long time ago there was a very strict rule that when an
abbreviation includes the last letter, you don't use a full stop, but that rule
has long since been relaxed and it's now a matter of individual taste.

Anyway, I've worked out how to tweak my individual copy of Openoffice to deal
with this now. I'll leave it us to you to decide whether to include this as the
default for future Openoffice releases. The only point I will make in its favour
is that anyone who writes "Mr." or "Mrs." almost certainly means the full stop
as an abbreviation. I can't see any conceivable way that the full stop could
indicate the end of a sentence and make sense.
