Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 32377
Deletion of last word should also "Autoinclude" abbreviations
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:38:38 UTC
Assume I am writing the following sentence: "It was the last day. then " (sic) Both MS Word and OO.org will (correctly) change this the "then" into a capitalized "Then". If I in MS Word use backspace to delete the autocorrected word and again write "then" in lowercase it will remember my correction for that specific sentence. OO.org does not.
Platform should be PC
MRU->SBA: please comment before reassigning to UserEx dept.
SBA: The described case is the typical scenario of an abbreviation in the middle of the sentence. The general goal is to "remember the abbreviation so that the next word will not be auto-capitalized any more". In OOo, the abbreviation list can be seen in the dialog Tools-AutoCorrect/AutoFormat, tab page "Exceptions". Pleae note that this list is language dependant. The "Autoinclude" box is checked by default in order to have the described "self-learning" effect of adding abbreviations the user runs into. In MS Word as well as in OOo, there are several ways to automatically include words into this abbreviation list right after the AutoCapitalisaton took place (after the next word and the following space or punctuation mark is entered). (1) By clicking the "Undo" icon (2) With the keyboard shortcut for "Undo" (<Ctrl>+<Z>) (3) By manually adding an abbreviation to the list via dialog ...and yet only in MS Word the described case: (4) By deleting the last word entirely (using <Backspace>) and re-typing exactly the same word. Case (4) is the slowest but nevertheless an intuitive one as well. I adjusted Summary to meet the findings (Old Summary: Implement MS Word "self-learning" for autocorrection) SBA->BH: So this Enhancement reads "Integrate Case (4) to ease OOo use for MS Word users".
set plattform to "all"
To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
