How do I turn off automatic correction and formatting?
OpenOffice.org is configured by default to perform certain automatic formatting and correction as you type. This can be very useful, but can also lead to unexpected results.
You can learn to use this feature, or if you prefer you can turn all or some of the automatic formatting off. You can either:
- Turn ALL off/on: under Format > AutoCorrect > While Typing.
- Turn some off/on: under Tools > AutoCorrect Options, click various tabs to choose different correcting and formatting functions. The AutoCorrect tabs include [Replace], [Exceptions], [Options], [Localized Options] and [Word Completion].
The table below describes some of the default behaviours and which AutoCorrect setting controls them.
