Customizing word entry and editing
AutoCorrect/AutoFormat
A
feature in OOo is the ability to have exceptions for
AutoCorrect/AutoFormat rules. For example, you can have “Correct
TWo INitial Capitals” in operation but exclude situations where two
capitals are desired, like OOo. To set up exceptions:
Tools
> AutoCorrect.
Click
on the Exceptions
tab (Figure 4).
Undo
and redo
To specify how many
“undos” are available:
Tools
> Options > OpenOffice.org > Memory > Number of steps.
Checking
spelling
To
set up the Spellcheck options in OpenOffice.org, use:
Tools
> Options > Language
Settings > Writing
Aids
The
Spellcheck options are consistent across all OOo applications.

Note
|
Unlike
the default dictionaries, custom dictionaries are not compressed.
Using too many custom dictionaries, or those containing more than
1000 entries, reduces performance while proofing.

Installing
other language dictionaries
To
install dictionaries of other languages select File
> Wizards > Install new dictionaries. An OOo
document will open with links to different languages that you can
install. Follow the prompts to install them.
