Hi All,
I have tried several times to use Tools - Autocorrect and then enter
words
into the "Replace" and "With". However, when I try to type any of
the words
entered in "Replace" afterwards, inside Writer, absolutely nothing
happens.
What am I missing?

A couple of things come to mind that would cause the "Replace" thing
to not work:
1. Once you type in something that's in your replacement table, you
need to hit a space before the actual replacement takes place. For
example,
if you type "teh" which will be replaced by "the", nothing will
happen until you put a space after the "teh". I'm guessing this
isn't the cause of your problem, but just in case it is, I thought
I'd mention it.
2. Go the the Format menu, and select Autoformat. Is "While Typing"
checked? If so, that's what you want. If not, then that's the cause
of the problem. With this unchecked, no type of auto-correction is
performed.
3. Go to Tools > Autocorrect > Options. The first selection is "Use
replacement table". This should be checked. If not, then no
auto-replacement will happen.
Hopefully, the cause of your problem is one (or more) of the above
three things, all of which are easily corrected.

Try quitting Quickstarter before starting Writer to attempt to update
the replacement table (start Writer from the Start menu). Quickstarter,
if running, has a grey icon with flying birds pictured in the System
Tray. Right click it and choose Exit.
