------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Nov 10 14:24:05 +0000 2007 ------- I tried this dummy text in a new document: The qick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog many times. I inserted that maybe forty or fifty times, without typing a space before the next shortcut text, so the resulting sentences did not have a space between the period and the beginning of the next sentence: "times.The". The spellchecker of course marked each occurrence of this and of the misspelled word "qick". What I discovered is that the Change All seems to build strings of changes before it will overwrite them all! Here's what I saw. I of course applied Change All to the first occurrence of "qick" and it changed only that instance, stopping at the first occurrence of "times.The". So I selected a suggested spelling for "times.The" which happened to be "timeshare", chose Change All, and voom! The entire text was corrected for both changes (and I watched it do multiple passes, because little black boxes that looked like single-character highlights seemed to run through the text as it ran). I tried the same test again but instead of allowing "timeshare" for the replacement text, I manually corrected it to place a space between the period and the next sentence. Change All this time did not cause the full -text overwrite. This time it stopped at each instance of "times.The" so I had to make the change again. I noticed that the "qick" wasn't corrected in that sentence until I clicked Change All for the end-of-sentence correction. So, it wasn't stopping on the "qick" but it was stopping at each end-of-sentence error... unless I chose a suggested spelling from the list, which did not include a suggestion to add the space. So, I thought, add the correction to the dictionary. That worked; the next Change All triggered the overwrite. Writer required me to add the correct word to the dictionary, and to make each required correction before it would run through and change all the text. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
