Done that...didn't help.

Excuse me for the exasperation...but I really HATE having a piece of

I need to put together a worksheet for my class. I'm using the OO
Spreadsheet so I can get nice columns. Eight columns each containing
the chord for the corresponding measure. Something like:
a a a e E E E7 A
Not really that hard. (a = a minor -- A=a major -- two *_different_*
chords.) However because the first time an "a" chord is used it's
minor the auto correct feature insists that ALL "a" cords must be
minor (what lunacy!). The result is:
a a a e e e e7 a (please note that these two
are NOT the same.)
I've NEVER been able to turn this off, in spite of the help
instructions. Placing a quote mark before the "A" and the quote
prints. It's like trying to create a list of words using the
spreadsheet or word processor. SOME words begin with capital
letters, some don't. Changing that either makes the word wrong or
changes the meaning. Why is this NOT understood...
Similarly I have a budget spreadsheet using OO. I have a column for
my Health Savings Account (HSA). Of course the spreadsheet makes me
use "HAS".
May *I* be permitted to decide what information goes in the
cells....please?

Hi Phil
Not being a musician, I'm not quite sure about your first item, but
experimenting with your HSA/has problem, I found that turning off
"Tools-Autocorrect-Options-Use replacement table" stopped that
behaviour. (OOo 2.4.1 linux)
Just be careful with this getting Exasportated, it sounds dangerous.

"...be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the
questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign
tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be
able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now ...
Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it,
live your way into the answer." - Rainer Maria Rilke
