Now I know how to bypass the typing of fn and the pressing of F3. I typed fn in the Equation Editor and I found just fn in the document. Beside the fn in the document, I pressed F3, and I got an onscreen message: AutoText for Shortcut " not found. So I think that something is missing on my computer, or at least on my LibreOffice. I have some more questions, which I hope I can post here in the coming days.
