Hi Peter,
First to answer your points:
1. Only one tick under T. Have tried ticking M but no change.
2. Other Autocorrect functions seem OK except First Letter (don't know all
capabilities of Autocorrect to make any other comment).
3. No my keyboard is PS2.
4. Tried the uninstall-reinstall. I previously had version 1.1.3 on this
computer - could there be any leftover errors?? I followed all recomended
choices when installing both 1.1.3 and later 1.1.4. I uninstalled 1.1.3
before upgrading to version 1.1.4.
I'm it Australia, therefore my Windows regional settings and Language are
set for Australia.
I note that OpenOffice only has one Language - American english.
I am reluctant to change things too much as I might cause more problems for
myself with other programs etc.
Do you imagine that there is a connection between Autocorrect/Autoformat
that might be Language dependant??
Personally I would think the "First letter capitalisation" is not Language
related however, as other Autocorrect features could be, can there be a
relationship???
Back to you to make your day.
Many thanks.
Regards,
Graham

Hi Peter,
How can I give a sample of something that doesn't happen - when I start
typing, the first letter remains in lowercase unless I press Shift.
I have the Option for autocorrect ticked for the first letter to be
capitalised.
This could be ignored, but as I type one fingered and cannot use my left
hand, it is a feature that I depend on.
Sorry to be a pain in the b....
I've looked at the Internet Forums and spoken to others using Openoffice
and it appears to be a common occurrence.
Hope you can shed some light on this - however, keep up the good work.
Many thanks,
Graham

No need for apologies. When errors occur that are unusual to me, I just
like to have a deeper understanding of exactly what happened.
I don't have a whole lot of good suggestions for you. A few questions:
1) In the *Tools > AutoCorrect* area, there are two checkboxes, one
labeled /M/ and one labeled /T/. Are they both checked. If yes...
2) Has AutoCorrect ever worked? If No...
3) Is there anything odd about your keyboard, is it wireless? Is there
some reason it would be messing things up? If No...
4) I would suggest you uninstall and then reinstall OOo. I don't know
what in the world could be wrong.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help, let me know if you have any success and
if the reinstall, if it comes to that, works.
HTH,
