------- Additional comments from drankina...@openoffice.org Wed Oct 27 18:45:14 +0000 2010 ------- Guys, Word completion is very useful, but it is horribly annoying for lawyers and staff because there is no option to "Ignore words in ALL CAPS". Traditionally all legal pleadings and other documents will have the 'Style' (top of document with cause number, parties, court information and pleading title) done in all caps. Of course all of this information will be used many times again below in normal case. Word completion is horribly flawed in this situation because it has no option to ignore the first occurrence of the words in all caps that make up the 'style' of the document which causes oo-writer to suggest the words in all caps the next 30 times they are used in the body of the document. Practically rendering Word Completion useless in this situation. Currently, the only way to 'fix' word completion is to go manually delete each instance of the collected words that are in ALL CAPS from the word completion list. This is unworkable, and both staff and attorneys usually just end up retyping all the words again in proper case -- when word completion keeps proposing the word in ALL CAPS over and over again. Simply adding an option to Word Completion to "Ignore words in ALL CAPS" would solve this issue completely and make oo-writer much more usable in the legal setting. The code in oo already exists in the spell checker to ignore words in all caps. This logic just needs to be added to the "Word Completion" feature as well and a check-box added to the Word Completion dialog to "Ignore words in ALL CAPS". Please consider incorporating this as soon as practicable. It would really help acceptance of oo-writer in many areas, but especially in the legal field. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
