I recently installed a new OS and am now using LibreOffice Version: 5.2.0.4,
Build ID: 1:5.2.0~rc4-0ubuntu1~xenial2.

When I went to set up some autotext completions, I first tested that
everything worked the same as I'm used to. So I typed dt and then pressed
F3. Nothing happened! Did someone break the "Hello World" of the autotext?
So I pressed Ctrl+F3 and looked through the listings. Sure enough, dt was
there, along with lorem ipsum and all his other friends.

When I ran dt manually from the dialog, it worked, so the function is still
there and alive.

So I looked into Tools>Customize and F3 was right there - and unassigned. I
thought that was a standard assignment, as I don't recall ever having to
explicitly set it; further down the list Ctrl+F3 was still there (obviously,
as I had just used it) and defined normally. No Matter! It's easy to assign
things there; I've done it many times before.

But when I searched through all of the Function Categories and their
functions, I couldn't locate it. I looked for things like autotext, complete
autotext, insert autotext, and then just scrolled through the lists for each
category looking for anything that sounded like it had potential.

I know I'm becoming senile, and my sight is failing, and I can't hear well,
but this is beyond embarrassing. What am I missing? Does this mean I'm going
to have to actually type all my boilerplate stuff?

Thanks for any help ...

-Frank
