AutoCorrect entries
AutoCorrect
is a feature to automatically correct words as you type. You can add
entries to the AutoCorrect function to customize the way that
OpenOffice.org operates.
The
author has not been able to find a way of importing Microsoft Office
AutoCorrect entries into OpenOffice.org. A thread discussing this
problem can be viewed at:
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10248.
Information
from that thread is copied below, because it is reportedly possible
for you to import the “first hundred or so” entries using this
information.
There
is a Word macro available from
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/ExportAutocorrect.htm
for creating a Word document with the AutoCorrrect
entries.
OOo
AutoCorrect
files are typically stored in ./user/autocorr/acorrXXXX.dat
(where XXXX corresponds to the number for a
given locale).
These
files are zipped and contain the file DocumentList.xml
(if no AutoCorrect entries have been
created the file will be empty) which looks like:
<block-list:block-list>
<block-list:block block-list:abbreviated-name="(C)"
block-list:name="©"/>
<block-list:block
block-list:abbreviated-name="yuor" block-list:name="your"/>
</block-list:block-list>
So
it would not be too difficult to create a text file to look like this
and to zip it into a acorrXXXX.dat file.
