One of the nice things about the wiki pages is that they have, is that each article page comes with a discussion page, where one can ask questions with regard to the article in question. In this case however, I'm not sure if we want to be referring to specific pages of the user guide or not, as the user might happen to have the user guide on hand at the time. Kirk Dan Hedley writes:
Hi,
I'm new to this and so thought I shouldn't just jump in and start
editing things without checking with the old hands first. So:
Re this Wiki entry:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/FAQ:Writer:AutomaticFunctions#If_ I_click_in_the_middle_of_a_table_cell_or_in_an_empty_paragraph.2C_OpenOffi ce.org_inserts_tabs_in_front_of_the_cursor_position._How_do_I_stop_this.3F Perhaps it would be more helpful if it described how to disable the Direct Cursor function (ie. return OOo to its default behaviour) and then referred the user to p61 of the user guide to learn more about the Direct Cursor function and when you might want to use it.
Re User Guide p61:
Makes reference to the Direct Cursor on/off button in the toolbar. This button is not present in the toolbar by default. Perhaps the guide should instead refer to Tools / Options / OpenOffice.org Writer / Formatting Aids.
Re Automatic Functions section of the Wiki in general:
The terms used to describe the automatic formatting functions is "automatisms". To me this seems rather confusing and inelegant. Perhaps it would be better to called them AutoText functions or AutoFormat functions or some such? Am I being too timid in wanting to check these minor edits with others first? Not sure what the etiquette is...
Best,
DH
