BUT: you have to do it for the language that your text is in. Apparently your text is not English (USA), because that has the (C) [Capital C] replaced by ©, not the lowercase (c). So check the language setting of your document (or that part of the document). Thank you. That is something I have not thought of. However, it does not help either. I am working on a document written in Japanese (-> a language that does NOT appear in the langauge field under autocorrect options), that has to be overwritten by German. I am using a German keyboard layout. The replacement occurs regardless of whether I type within the still Japanese section or the already translated German section. German: neither deleting the entry present in the list of replacements nor adding (c) as new item changes anything. Entering (c) for ALL languages does not any good either. Does that leave "Ctrl+Z" the one and only option? This "(c)" comes from a Japanese style of numbering (lots of) tables and items in a manner like "3.(4).A.(c)-1". Don't ask me, whether that is good/right or whatever. It is just the way it is and therefore the way I am supposed to render it in the translation. I would like to think, that therre should be more elegant way ... -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Having done that, you might want to install the U.S. International keyboard, should you ever require that symbol. With it, I can press the right Alt key and c to make ©. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Remember that there are also alternatives: o The automatic correction is considered a separate action from the space or punctuation mark or line or paragraph break that terminates the sequence and stimulates the correction. So you can use Edit | Undo (or Ctrl+Z) to undo the correction and keep what you typed - as long as you do so immediately the correction appears. o Another technique may be not to worry about the change when it occurs and to replace copyright symbols globally later with what you actually want. I trust this helps.

[libreoffice-users] How to NOT turn (c) into a symbol
Good evening I have tried all sorts of settings to prevent LibreOffice from changing (c) into the copywright symbol. So far nothing has helped. Setting it as an exception does not work. For reasons I do not understand the conversion is NOT made when I type (C) (=capital C). What is the trick required to stop Libreoffice from doing this conversion. If possible, I prefer NOT to turn of autocorrect entirely. Thank you.
