I checked the wiki and it appears that you signed the wrong section in the status document. What looks like happened is that you proofread https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide/AutoCorrect which is a part of the introductory Material and is positioned directly above the supported file formats in the status guide. and that you signed https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide/Writer/Intro/AutoText which is a subsection under the writer guide. I will roll back the changes you made to the status document and if you could please sign the the one that you actually proofread it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Keith
