Priority: medium
Bug ID: 61325
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: FORMATTING: AutoCorrect > Apply
Severity: enhancement
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 3.6.5.2 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
When I paste texts with simple quote marks, I normally want to change them to
better-looking inverted commas (or so-called "smart quotes"). When I use Format
> AutoCorrect > Apply, I expect the quote marks--single and double--to change
accordingly. (I remember using this in Lotus WordPro.) But nothing changes, and
there's nothing I can change in the settings to make it possible.
Presently, the AutoCorrect for this only happens while typing.
I think this is relatively simple hack, and it would automate the conversion of
ordinary quote marks in a text pasted from elsewhere. Even with the Find and
Replace tool, doing this manually, esp. on a long text, is tedious as the
opening and closing quote in the original text is the same. We have to go
through the instances one by one to avoid changing the quote marks wrongly.
I suggest this as an option to be included in AutoCorrect Options > Localised
Options.
If you support this change, please add your email address to the cc list as a
form of voting for this. Thank you.
I'm not sure if this should be labelled with FORMATTING or EDITING. Please
correct if necessary.
