But, there are many option in the Auto Correction window's tabs. They need to be looked at carefully to see which ones are needed or even wanted for your typing of a default document. One thing that bothers me it that the replace option list does not replace consistently. Most of the first part of the list, down till you get to the fraction replacements, seems not to want to work most of the time. The first one of the -- to the long dash is one I could use a lot, but half the time it does not work when editing the text and adding the double dashes and expect the long-dash to be shown. Also, who came up with all those misspelled words? Is there a chance that any of them might be wanted in some form of English or non-English language? Well I was just wondering about those things. Still having some controls over the auto-correction helps. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

The official proper use and look of foot notes changed 4 or 5 times between the first college degree, through the last and into my work at a local school district. Other page formatting from margins, notation, biography, and other parts of a written paper as the years went by, swing from one extreme and back again. As for the 60 years ago for double space issue, well I had to type up college papers [with a Windows based computer in 2000 or 2001] and I was required to use 2 spaces between a period and the capital letter of the next line - Required or it would loose me grade points. There was some papers that required a full line spacing between text lines of the page, while others used standard line spacing. For the foot notes, and other things, I had to buy the currently used English writing text book used in the first two semester courses for writing properly. I already had 3 others on the shelf and had to use the newest one. The book changed since my 1st semester of the 3rd degree and the last semester of night college courses [3+ years later taking only the courses needed to go from the 2nd degree to the 3rd one]. So the long and short of it is, what is required for proper writing of papers changes yearly, or every time English professionals get together to review what concepts and requirements came out since the last get-together. Now that people use computers more than typewriters, the changes can come faster as the influences are spread via the Net faster. Actually my neighbor's kids were required to type of their 5-8 grade papers before their parents could afford to buy one. IF it was not typed up via a computer and a printed copy with a digital copy handed in, they would fail the assignment. This was at a school where over a third of the kids had no computer at home, but it was a requirement for the district that their students had to have a computer at home to write/print/save-to-disc their written assignments - since it was easier and quicker to read than handwritten papers. I ended up having the neighbor's kids come over and type on one of my machines in my home/office. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-users] capitalization
Auto-correct is something I do not like for the capitalizing. It tends to require capitals for the first word in each physical line, even when it is not wanted or needed. Look at your Auto Correction options carefully. Choose the ones you really want to help you while you are typing the words and such. You still can do the corrections after you write the draft of the paragraph and not have the auto-correction options interfere with your flow of thought.
