| <h3>These automatisms suck!!</h3> |
| <P>OpenOffice is configured in standard to execute, while typing a text, automatical |
| formatting tasks. Those automatisms can be amazing or boring - especially because |
| they can occure when you don't expect them.</P> |
| <P>You have two solutions: turn them off or learn to know them and domesticate them. |
| <UL> |
| <LI><P>Turn them ALL off/on: under <B>Format-AutoFormat-While Typing</B>.</P> |
| <LI><P>Turn some of them off/on: under <B>Tools-AutoCorrect/Autoformat</B>.</P> |
| </UL> |
| <P>To USE them you have to know them and first recognize them, so...</P> |
| <P>How to recognize them?</P><br/> |
