No-one seems to have answered the question in your Subject header: 
What happened to autoformat option?  The answer is that it is 
probably alive and well and fulfilling its proper purpose - which is 
to apply cell formats quickly to a table of cells.  It makes no sense 
for a single cell: that is why it is greyed out.  Since it seems to 
expect column and row headings as well as a line of totals in each 
direction, a minimum of a three-by-three cell range appears to be 
appropriate.  If you select such a cell range, the AutoFormat menu 
item will leap into black and white.



... since I usually turn off all autoformatting.


That would be AutoCorrection.

I trust this helps.

Oops!  My bad.
For some reason, I wasn't seeing that option under Tools, and I looked 
more than once.  My only excuse is that it was late in the day.

Thanks, Brian.  That resolved my problem.

[libreoffice-users] What happened to autoformat option?

2013-05-30 Thread Girvin R. Herr

Greetings,
I upgraded to LO 3.6.6.2 and just installed it on my HP laptop.  
However, Calc keeps changing the 1st character of a filename in a text 
cell to upper case.  If I go back and edit it back to lower case, it 
sticks.  However, it is a pain to have to do this every entry and the 
autoformat option in the Format menu is grayed out no matter what I do.  
Anyone know the trick to get this option back so I can remove this 
aggravating formatting permanently?
I just checked on my desktop and the autoformat option is the same - 
grayed out!  That is going to be a big hindrance to me, since I usually 
turn off all autoformatting.

Thanks in advance.
Girvin Herr
