As I said, I'm surprised. There is no mention of this in the Writer 
Guide. And you seem to have confirmed that you find it not to be true.


The problem: there *** IS NO *** (c) in the replacement list. (only 
(R)) I have looked at least twice. In all three languages I use.


As you will have seen, V Stuart Foote finds ".*(C)" there.

I just entered (c) under "Replace" AND "With". For now, that seems 
to be working.


Good-oh!

The first part - that Edit | Undo or Ctrl+Z undoes the automatic 
correction - is right, but I'm very surprised to hear any suggestion 
of adding something to the list of exceptions.



 Adding Exceptions to the AutoCorrect List

You can prevent AutoCorrect from correcting specific abbreviations or 
words that have mixed capital letters and lowercase letters.


1.

   Choose *Tools - AutoCorrect - AutoCorrect Options*, and then click
   the *Exceptions* tab.

2.

   Do one of the following:

   Type the abbreviation followed by a period in the *Abbreviations (no
   subsequent capital) *box and click *New*.

   Type the word in the *Words with TWo INitial CApitals *box and click
   *New*.

Tip Icon



To quickly undo an AutoCorrect replacement, press Ctrl+Z. *This also 
adds the word or abbreviation that you typed to the AutoCorrect 
exceptions list.*


Here is the copy from the Help section. It says there, the Ctrl+Z action 
adds something to the excecption list.




o Go to Tools | AutoCorrect Options... | Replace.
o Scroll down to and select the line showing the unwanted correction.
o Click Delete.
Voilà!

The problem: there *** IS NO *** (c) in the replacement list.
(only (R))
I have looked at least twice. In all three languages I use.
About the two initial caps: in the exception section I have only two 
choices: abbreviations (with a period) or two initial caps.

Where else would I have put my request?



When you want to reinstate it:
o Select the copyright symbol in your text.
o Go to Tools | AutoCorrect Options... | Replace;  notice that the 
symbol is already in the With box.

o Type (C) in the Replace box.
o Click New.
I just entered (c) under "Replace" AND "With". For now, that seems to be 
working.

Although this seems to be a very strange behavior to me.

Thank you!
Thomas

[libreoffice-users] Re: edit autocorrection options

[V Stuart Foote]

The correction in the Replace table is ".*(C)" replaced with "©"

Meaning just an upper case (C) and not a lower case (c) will trigger the
replacement.

As noted simply delete the replacement stanza to remove the behavior.
Recreate it (or modify as needed) to restore.

Er, I don't think (c) has two initial capitals.

I think that is as intended.

Is there a way to make this exception

[libreoffice-users] edit autocorrection options

[Thomas Blasejewicz]

Good afternoon
I am frequently working on patent specifications, in which there 
references to all those numbers and symbols

in the accompanying figures.
This also often includes something like "(c)".

LibreOffice insists on converting this into the copyright symbol.
I tried Tools -> Autocorrect Options -> Exceptions (words with two 
capitals) and added this (c).

However Writer apparently does not recognize / remember this setting.

The help section says, typing Crtl+z immediately after the (c) input 
reverts the autocorrection

and adds it to the list of exception.
Yet, Writer does NOT remember this.

Is there a way to make this exception "permanent" (until a time when I 
choose to change the setting)?


Thank you.
Thomas

Re: [libreoffice-users] Lost all my spread sheets

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Have you emailed them recently?  Have you copied any onto usb?  Have you
edited them on a different computer recently?

Any of those sorts of things mean you have some sort of informal back-up
that may help you recover.

What happened just before losing spreadsheets?  Is it just MS Excel that
can't find them?  Also if you can, please let us know what Operating System
(Win 10, Xp, Ubuntu, OSX, etc) or even just what platform (ie Windows, Mac,
Linux, Bsd)?

Regards from a Tom :)
