Recently I became interested in linguistic phonology, and so I tried LibreOffice Math. I rarely tried Math before. So I am a Math novice. I guide I used was LibreOffice 3.3 Math, which was a bit old. Now I downloaded LibreOffice 3.5.5 Math Guide. The typing of fn and the pressing of F3 yields an onscreen message: AutoText for Shortcut " not found. Something seems to be missing on my computer. Perhaps I need to re-install LibreOffice 3.6.4, which I am using? I have some more questions which I hope I can post here in the near future.
