No.

I can see how that can happen--have seen the forum suggestions that
AutoInput should be over-ridable without having to turn it off. But that
wouldn't explain why the AutoCorrect setting for capitalizing first word
would have been changed, would it?

I'm trying to reproduce the effect and I can't. I thought maybe it had
to do with OpenOffice doing a restore on this document when I opened it
this morning--it seems to do that sometimes, even if the document that
was open when the computer shut down (without separately closing
OpenOffice) didn't have any unsaved changes. But when I tried it just
now, with some unsaved changes in the spreadsheet, it didn't do a
restore on reopening but rather opened two copies of the spreadsheet,
one with the unsaved changes and one that appeared to be the last saved
version.

(Running Fedore Core 4 and OO2.0.2)

So maybe a bigger issue is that OOo doesn't seem to be consistent in how
it behaves under various circumstances. Sometimes it wants to do a
restore when opening and sometimes not. Sometimes it opens two copies of
a file. And shouldn't it be prompting me whether I want to save changes
when it's shutting down and there's a file open with unsaved changes?

Thanks.  Long live OOo.
