Re: Auto Correct question

Specifically I am trying to put in the phrase RTsCars without the hyphen but with the capitalization. Every time I put it in the T becomes lowercase. I need it to be uppercase. Is there a way to format the cells to NOT auto correct to RtsCars and allow it to be RTsCars? There is more than one way to do this, and it is worth knowing about all of them. The simple answer to your question, as you've expressed it, is to remove the tick from Tools | AutoCorrect Options... | Options | Correct TWo INitial CApitals. But you can keep the advantage of that facility whilst still solving your problem in other ways. o You can bypass the automatic correction by typing ="RTsCars" (exactly like that) into a cell. That creates a formula with the appropriate value and display, which may be enough. If you want just the text itself, you can copy what is in the cell and paste it back over itself using Paste Special... and ensuring that Formulae is *not* ticked. This is much easier than it sounds - especially if you use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Shift+V. o Why type such an entry more than once? If you have designed your spreadsheet sensibly, you are likely to be entering this text into cells in a single column, or perhaps in a few specific columns. Select the column header and go to Data | Validity... | Criteria. For Allow, choose List. Ensure "Show selection list" is ticked. Enter possible values into the Entries box. Note that - conveniently - the automatic correction does not apply here. Now when you select a cell in the column, you will see a down-arrow button to the right of the cell; click this and you will be offered the selection list: no need to type the text again and no problem with automatic correction. o Even without using Data | Validity, you can reuse values already in the same column. Select the new cell. Press Ctrl+D (or right-click | Selection List...) to display a list of values already in the column. Click your choice to enter it again. Entering the same value many times into any document is a recipe for error, so techniques such as the above, although they may seem extra work, will repay dividends. I trust this helps.

Can you please tell me how I can set up this automatic pagination ? It’s always been in the header, centre, at the top of the page. Go to Insert -> Header once the Header is inserted place your mouse inside the Header and go to Insert -> Fields -> Page Number If you double click the page number it opens a menu where you can set the number format, at the bottom you see a field to set the Offset f you set this to -1 it start numbering page two as 1 etc. Martin, AOO 4.1.3; Slackware Linux 14.2.

I don't use a Mac, but when I use your process, and I change anything in the popup menu and return, the page number disappears and only the grey field indicator remains. Bug? If you set the offset to -1 as suggested, the second page - if you get that far - should display page number 1, as claimed. The first page still has the field, but does indeed show no page number. But what would you have it do? Surely you don't want a page zero? I don't see that as a bug. If you want page numbers to show as greater values than their natural sequence, you will want to set a positive offset. If you do that, early page numbers show as expected, but no number is shown where the offset page number would be greater than the actual number of pages in the document. For example, if you have five pages and use an offset of (plus) 2, the pages are numbered 3, 4, and 5 - as expected - but the last two pages are not numbered at all. You might consider that a bug. A more reliable way to have page numbers offset positively is to use "Change page number" when inserting a manual page break - as you would often wish to do anyway after a front page or after multiple pages of front matter. You can restart numbering at any positive, non-zero value, and the problem described above does not occur: page numbers can appear that exceed the actual number of pages in the document. (Interesting though this is, it is actually tangential to the original query, which was just about suppressing the number on the first page but having page numbering thereafter following the actual page number - so starting with "2" on page two.)
