[discuss] Office is broken...

2006-01-02 Thread Nun-Ya Damn Business

Dear Openoffice Team:


It would appear that I am having a problem accessing a feature in your 
suite: write, to clarify; AutoCorrect, to be precise. This feature, 
which worked quite well prior to the 2.0 release, allowed me to add 
various misspelt words & and the corrected counterpart, such that it 
would aid my writing. Now however, this feature has disappeared. I have 
removed the newly installed version and re-installed Office, as 
suggested by forums but the AutoCorrect feature is not there. Currently, there are 
four choices (functions) listed: Tools -> Auto Correct: Options, Custom Quotes, 
Exceptions & Word Completion.


There isn't provision for adding the/_* misspelt words!!!*_/

I am aware of the fact that some distributions do repackage Openoffice  
but I doubt if Fedora would screw up this that badly. Please, look into 
this as soon as possible and replace this most valuable tool. If this is 
not your fault, then it's time to change distro.


I cannot let my work suffer...


Sincerely,

Freddie Montana
Great Lakes Region

PS: Can you also look into adding _/*"A Screenwriter's Module"*/_ to 
writer? This would facilitate the writing of movies, and or television 
shows, which should further broaden your appeal to the public...

The "Replace" tab is certainly on my Windows copy of OOo 2.0.

A screenwriter's tool wants virtually none of the normal features of a 
word processor, and a good many abnormal features (such as marking 
continued paragraphs on both ends). In the commercial world, 
screenwriting programs are separate products (such as Final Draft) from 
specialized firms, and I suspect it would be the same for FOSS.
