I have been using OOo since forever, and for the past four years on Linux. I currently have 3.1.1 that came with a fresh install of Fedora 11, x86_64. I have always saved my ~/.openoffice.org folder so as to preserve my personal settings, including years of AutoCorrrect entries.
Today I just noticed that one of my AutoCorrect entries was not working. Wondering what was going on I went to Tools > AutoCorrect Options and discovered that there are no substitution entries at all. None. Not even the default that OOo comes with. All I see are four tabs: Exceptions, Options, Custom Quotes, and Word Completion. I have poked all over and can't find any way to restore my AutoCorrect entries. I looked in my ~./openoffice.org folder and I don't see them; that is, there is a file acor_en-US.dat, but it is too small. I also note that I have two folders: ~/.ooo3.new and ~/.openoffice.org. Both folders contain the same .dat file. Poking around in them I notice that all my templates are in both folders, as well as many other items. I probably have a backup of my AutoCorrect entries from a previous version of OOo. I just don't know what file I should look for and where I should put it. And why is there no way to add entries in Tools > AutoCorrect Options? I am very confused. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
