This is not a bug, it's a feature ;-) But you can stopp it: In Calc choose - Tools - AutoCorrect Options ... Turning it off completely isn't the right solution :-) Autocorrection makes mistakes sometimes, and a user should be able to correct such mistakes when they happen. But that's not possible in Calc right now (though it is possible in Writer). By the way, did I send this to the right list?

[tdf-discuss] Calc usability issue (autocorrect of small letter to capital letter)
Calc seems to autocorrect a small letter to a capital letter after a dot character. But a dot character does not always mean the end of a sentence; in this case it was used for an abbreviation. And sadly there is no way to undo a wrong autocorrection: pressing undo will revert the entire input of the cell. Please provide a way to undo the autocorrection, or make calc realise that when a user changes 'R' to 'r' in a cell it shouldn't make it an 'R' again :) That's really frustrating. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

You only want want to be able to undo the AutoCorrection in single cases.

It shouldn't be that hard to fix this, I have noticed that this is the way Writer works now. It automatically capitalizes the first word of a sentence, unless the . is after a numeral, or ends what is usually an abbreviation, such as etc. ea. and such. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
