Re: PLEASE DISCONTINUE AUTOMATIC FORMATTING

2021-08-12 Thread Fernando Cassia
If you Google for "automatic capitalization OpenOffice" the first search
result is this:

*How do I stop OpenOffice.org from changing the first letter of a word to
uppercase?*

   1. Select Tools > AutoCorrect Options and then the Options tab.
   2. Near the top of the list, uncheck the [T] box next to "Capitalize
   first letter of every sentence".
   3. Click OK at the bottom of the dialog to apply the change.

You seem to have no problems with writing in all caps, that's for sure.

DEAR OPEN-OFFICE,

THE AUTOMATIC FORMATTING FEATURES ON YOUR SOFTWARE *IS A NIGHTMARE FOR
WRITERS!*

WE DO NOT NEED IT.  WE DO NOT NEED YOUR PLATFORM MAKING FORMATTING
DECISIONS FOR US.

I'M SURE I SPEAK FOR LOTS OF WRITERS.

YOUR "DROP CAP" FEATURE KEEPS ASSERTING ITSELF INTO MY WRITING.  WHY WOULD
YOU MAKE SUCH A FEATURE AUTOMATIC?

*DROP CAPS ARE RARELY USED!  IT IS TOTALLY USELESS TO MAKE THEM
AUTOMATIC!!!*

AND WHY WOULD YOU MAKE AUTO CAPITALIZATION A FEATURE?

However, the encryption used in OpenOffice is very secure, and it may not be 
possible to recover your files.

The password is needed to decrypt the files.

A password cracker can recover the password. I did that a year or so ago
when I had the same problem. Problem solved.

Search for OpenOffice password cracker. You'll find several. Don't remember
which I used or I would tell you.

Depends on the type of passwords you're using, whether and how long before
password is recovered. In my case was an alphanumeric six character
password. I think it took about 10 minutes before it figured out the
password.
