Hi :) Lol, yes. Been there. Done that! Undo is pretty good these days tho (Ctrl Z). The trick is trying to use spaces and things to make it specific enough. In Gedit (a text-editor) there is a "find all" type feature that high-lights all instances of the thing searched for and it's very clear which one is the 'active' one. Still it's all to easy to see a document disintegrate. Regards from Tom :)

To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, 20 December, 2011, 19:51 Tom, I appreciate your kind reply. I /have /used find & replace successfully, but I honestly hadn't thought of autocorrect. It's been several years since I experimented with that, actually, and I guess I need to try using it before I ask someone to reinvent the wheel, huh? Find & replace works well enough, but I'm always just a tad nervous my parameters will allow the program to alter something I didn't intend to. As in, I replace all instances of "and" with "&", and then my text reads, "Joe sighted l& after four days. Upon reaching the shore he wiggled his toes in the s&." I am well capable of far worse errors, I assure you. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Can-words-in-LibreOffice-be-auto-italicized-tp3601650p3602132.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] 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 -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] 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
