Controlling Writer’s AutoCorrect functions
Some people find some or all of the items in Writer’s AutoCorrect
feature annoying because they change what you type when you don’t
want it changed. Many people find some of the AutoCorrect functions
quite helpful; if you do, then select the relevant options. But if you find
unexplained changes appearing in your document, this is a good place
to look to find the cause.
To open the AutoCorrect dialog box, click Tools >
AutoCorrect/AutoFormat. (You need to have a document open for
this menu item to appear.)
In Writer, this dialog box has five tabs, as shown in Figure 52.
