Hi Tom

Tried - as you suggested (ever hopeful)

It works of course the way I want it, when I do download the new saved spreadsheet with the autoinput turned Off . However, if I now turn On the autoinput at any point (as would be everybody elses by default), it starts that autoinput. As I originally thought, its not a function of the sheet itself - so I am looking for another answer.

thanks

John

Ok, can you turn it off and leave it off?  Save the document, upload it, perhaps
change the html to point at the new version (?).  Hopefully then your website
one should work the way you want it.

Tom :)

Dear Tom

On my system it does not work, the autoinput seems to be part of  the
default settings of the program and unfortunately does not seem to
attribute itself to the file.

I,  turned autoinput Off - my  calculator sheet works as it should, I
then saved it and closed LO as  well.

Open LO calc again, autoinput remained off (that's good), then  changed
the autoinput to the default On, then opened my calculator - and the
problem returns"

Ahah, i think  Stephen's answer is best.  You will probably need to re-save
the
  document and upload the newly saved document to the right place.

Dear Tom / Stephan

I  have not seen this feature before in my Lotus 123  or  in my old  MS
Excel either, it may be that the default settings in  these  are Off,
where as the default in LO (and OOo) is clearly  On.

I  use my "calculator" for anyone to download  from my website and the
people  who download it, may not have  the knowledge to switch it off.

http://www.chillypepperhire.co.uk/calculator-downloads.htm - if  you
enter the number 8 into the "Height" box you will see what I  mean (once
you get past the open with LO and it opens in  "read  only" and you have
to re-save it anyway-  annoyance)

I was hoping that I could just  format  the cell in some way so the
spreadsheet could be used be anyone  and  not say OMG when they
inadvertently enter a number and  text appears (as I  did).

I suppose the only answer  is to re-design the form (unless you know
better).
  regards

John  B

Hi :)
For most types of  auto-complete you  can just tap the "Del" key or any

character

  (not  enter) while the predicted part is still selected/bold/inverse.
If

you

just press enter then the program happily thinks  it guessed  right.

Regards  from
Tom   :)

this where, say,  you enter text into a cell in  column  E   say at E16

the

now  if you type  in the same column above or below it,  say at E7  the

number

8,  the whole of  "8,000 btus (or 2.34kw)  Machines"   appears.


   That is called  "AutoInput"



I would like to turn  this  feature   off.


On Windows it is  under:  Tools  ->    Cell Content ->       AutoInput
