Writer Guide

Here you can also check which of the user-defined (custom)
dictionaries are active, or you can add or remove dictionaries by
clicking the New or Delete buttons.
Note
OpenOffice.org does not have a grammar checker, but you can
install a grammar checker extension such as Language Tool
and access that tool from Tools > Spelling and Grammar.
See Chapter 14 for more about installing extensions.
Controlling Writer’s AutoCorrect functions
Some people find some or all of the items in Writer’s AutoCorrect
feature annoying because Writer changes what you type when you do
not 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
Options. (You need to have a document open for this menu item to
appear.) In Writer, this dialog box has five tabs. Many of the options in
this dialog box are described in Chapter 3 (Working with Text).
