Using AutoCorrect
Writer’s AutoCorrect function has a long list of common misspellings and typing errors, which it corrects automatically. For example, “hte†will be changed to “theâ€. Select Tools > AutoCorrect to open the AutoCorrect dialog box. There you can define what strings of text are corrected and how. In most cases, the defaults are fine.

TIP
|
AutoCorrect is automatically turned on. To turn it off, uncheck Format > Autoformat > While Typing.

-
To stop Writer replacing a specific spelling, use Tools > AutoCorrect > Replace, highlight the word pair and click Delete.
-
To add a new spelling to correct, type it into the Replace and With boxes and click New.
-
See the different tabs of the dialog box for the wide variety of other options available to fine-tune AutoCorrect.

TIP
|
AutoCorrect can be used as a quick way to insert special characters. For example, (c) will be autocorrected to ©. You can add your own special characters.
