------- Additional comments from mmartin_...@openoffice.org Sat Mar 6 17:39:57 +0000 2010 ------- Here some more thought after a little more investigation. As I've described in Issue 109876, I'm simply trying to use "text only" Autotext to simplify inserting special space characters (HAIR SPACE and THIN SPACE) into text. Since I want those spaces to take the formatting of the text I insert them so, I chose "New (text only)" to create the entries. Now this is what we already had. What happens is that a line break return is added to that entry, which I think is the defective behaviour here. This line break cannot be removed by editing the AutoText, it is re-inserted every time. I cannot think of a reason why this should be wanted. Needless to repeat it makes the function unusable for my purposes. This also means that only changing the reading of the AutoTexts ist not the way to go. It would have the advantage not to have to correct all AutoTexts having this unwanted line break manually, yes. But it shifts the defective behavior onto those cases where a terminating line break is actually wanted, for example when I would like to have an ellipsis character (or another glyph) at the end of a paragraph and I'd like to insert a succeeding line break as well. However, I seem to have found a work around for until the issue is resolved. Create a "normal" AutoText entry from whatever text you want. Do choose "New", not "New (text only)". The AutoText entry is created _with_ the formatting it had when it was created (paragraph style, character style, etc.) Now edit that entry, setting all styles (paragraph, character, lists, whatever) to "Default". The highlight all text, right click on it and choose "Default Formatting". The AutoText is now stripped of all formatting and should behave like unformatted text. Save and close all AutoText dialogs. When you now insert the AutoText, it correctly integrates with all formatting of the target text, and it doesn't have the unwanted line break. I've tested it and it seems to work like you would expect "text only" AutoTexts to behave. Hope this is of help for anyone. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
