Go to Tools -- AutoCorrect

Under "Options" some of the descriptions could be a lot easier to understand,
and more correct, by just rephrasing the GUI.

Suggestions:

== Remove ellipses: ==
Replace 1st with 1^st
Replace 1/2 with ½

== Rephrase: ==
Replace dashes -> Appropriately replace hyphens with dashes
Create table -> Create tables with for instance +----+--+
Apply border -> Replace triple occurrences of -_=*~# with lines
Apply styles -> Apply heading styles with Enter and Tab
Use replacement table -> Use the replacement table

== The help text ==
The help texts for these auto corrections are also partly wrong/insufficient,
so the changes above should also be reflected in the help texts:

The string:

Your text was corrected by <link href=\"text/shared/01/06040000.xhp\" name=
\"Autocorrect\">Autocorrect</link> so that double quotation marks were
replaced by <link href=\"text/shared/01/06040400.xhp\" name=\"typographical
quotation marks\">typographical quotation marks</link>.

and the string:

You text was corrected by <link href=\"text/shared/01/06040000.xhp\" name=
\"Autocorrect\">Autocorrect</link> so that single quotation marks were
replaced by <link href=\"text/shared/01/06040400.xhp\" name=\"typographical
quotation marks\">typographical quotation marks</link>.

both names "typographical quotation marks" something that the user can change to
something totally different.
The name of the tab in the gui corresponding to it is "Custom quotes", this
should be mentioned here.

For instance like this:

You text was corrected by <link href=\"text/shared/01/06040000.xhp\" name=
\"Autocorrect\">Autocorrect</link> so that single quotation marks were
replaced by <link href=\"text/shared/01/06040400.xhp\" name=\"typographical
quotation marks\">custom quotes</link>. By default this should be the
typographical quotation marks for your language.

... and then the same for the double quotes.

It could also be pointed out, that those quotes are false quotes by naming them
as such, for instance:

... so that false single quotation marks ...
and
... so that false double quotation marks ...
