Hi there, So i've just installed OpenOffice 2.2 for work, this is the second time i've used open office, the first a few years ago. Always thought it was a decent prorgam if a little quirky.
Now I wasn't sure where to post this, but anyway here goes: The Autocomplete feature. I hate it. I really really really dislike it. I find it distracting, throwing up words that have nothing to do with what I'm working on. Generally it breaks up my train of thought. So I wanted to turn it off. So I went to Tools->Options->Writing Aids. That seemed the logical place for such a Writing Aid to be located. But no, the option is in fact under Auto-Correct->Word Completion. Which was why I spent a fruitless half an hour searching the help file and mailing list looking for instructions to disable the feature. Suggestions - -> standardise the feature name. Is it autocomplete or is it word completion? Makes it impossible to find help when a feature has several different names! -> place options under the "Writing Aids" menu. This seems extremely logical to me, and obvious. -> lastly, instructions in help file on how to deactivate the autowordcompletionaryism feature. Well, that's all... I do think Open Office could be great but little quirks like this make it appear inaccessible or awkward to use... we don't all want all the features all of the time :) thanks.
