Tools>Auto Correct>Auto Correct Options ... Will take you to a tab where you can add words to the Autocorrect: it will change words by guessing which one you meant to type. I hate that. You may not. To actually edit dictionaries, go to Tools > Options > Language Settings > Writing Aids You can now either edit the predefined "User-defined dictionaries" or create a new one. Any misspelling with the red squiggly underline will have correction options in the right-click menu from these dictionaries. If a "misspelled" word is correct, the right click menu will display and "add to" and a "Spelling and Grammar" entry to use to add of refine. Also, I recommend upgrading to LibreOffice 5.3.4.2 as there are lots of bug fixes, improvements and a number of Heap-buffer-overflow security fixes. -Ed _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
