--- Comment #13 from Bastendorf <[email protected]> --- (In reply to oooforum (fr) from comment #12) > (*) > https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Writer_Guide/ > AutoText That's not really useful. Every time I press a letter, for instance "M" it formats, whether it's 'Mark', 'Monday', or 'Money'. You say > Remember that a new function must interest a large of users. Seems that you > are > t the first to ask it. Just because I'm the first to ask doesn't mean I'm the only one who wants it, sir. Or that someone didn't already ask and wasn't understood. Also doesn't mean I'll be the only one using it. Do you know how many DMs use your program to write their campaigns? Do you know how many of them would find my suggestion useful? Do you know how many more that kind of functionality would attract? The answer to all 3 is 'lots'. Also, who asked for AutoText? You were fine to add that in there, and I'm willing to bet no one asked for it and almost no one uses it, because it's not helpful. You get one letter as a shortcut, because I can't get it to acknowledge more than one, it applies to all documents, and it doesn't even seem to function correctly, since I could only get it to do its thing one time and never again, and when it did work, I had to switch back to default formatting manually. AutoText seems like an inferior and partially realized version of my suggestion. I did try to see, in the forum, if anyone was interested, but everyone was far more interested in suggesting your competitors, or weak-tier scripts that didn't work. If you don't want to do it, fine, whatever. No skin off my nose. The search for a non-Microsoft, non-Google, non-Mobile-centric writing program that doesn't make me download 8 other barely functional writers to get what I want out of them continues. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
