I have been searching for this and I can't seem to find the right

I have three or four installations of LO on various computers. On
some of them, LO Writer automatically converts 1/2, 1/4 and 3/4 into
the symbols for such (½ ¼ ¾). On others, the letters remain
unchanged.
I'm reasonably certain there is a setting for this in one of the
options, but I can't find it in Help and I can't figure out which one
it's supposed to be in the Options lists.
It's under Tools > AutoCorrect Options
- In the "Replace" tab, you need the following entries, which I think
should be there by default:
Replace 1/2 with ½
Replace 1/4 with ¼
Replace 3/4 with ¾
In the "Options" tab, you need to enable "Use replacement table"
Personally, I disable using the replacement table because it gets in
the way when I don't want the replacement to happen, e.g. when
entering dates:
- 1/1 gives 1st January of the current year, as expected
- 2/1 gives 2nd January of the current year (I'm in the UK)
- 3/1 gives 3rd January of the current year
...
- 31/1 gives 31st January of the current year
But:
- 1/2 gives ½, not 1st February
- 1/4 gives ¼, not 1st April
- 3/4 gives ¾, not 3rd April
Mark.
If you are using Windows, press and hold the left Alt-key while writing
0189 on the numeric keyboard to write the character ½. Code 0188 gives ¼
and 0190 ¾.
There are more codes. Take a look at the menu Insert -> Special Character.
Or have a look at the menu Tools -> AutoCorrect Options on that computer
where it works.
Mark, I think you know it but perhaps others don't: If you write 1/2 and
it is changed to ½ press Ctrl + Z immediately and the ½ changes back to
1/2.
