Hi John, Thanks for your report! As far as I am aware, the handy option for autocorrect in an existing text, uses the choises set on the Options page. And the localised options are not on that one... So I think that your report comes down to an enhancement request. Just as on top of the Options there is: Use the replacement table, one could add Use localised options with a check in the first column. Do you agree with that? Thanks, Cor I think I understand. I would, however, like you to consider my alternative point of view: Already, in LibreOffice, my straight quotes are replaced by curly quotes when I type them. This option is also available in MS Word (Backstage view | Options | Proofing | AutoCorrect | Autoformat As You Type. No difference there, but here is the difference: in MS Word I can do a Search and Replace of ' with ' and " with ". I know that this looks silly, but in Word the Replace obeys the rules of AutoCorrect As You Type so straight quotes are replaced by curly ones during the replace operation. In other words, Replace is treated the same as “as you type”. Which seems more than reasonable. It seems obvious. In LO, the Replace facility ignores the rules of Autocorrect as you type. To me this is an implementation omission, almost a bug. Do you agree? Thanks for the reply.

You reported the bug. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email has been scanned by Netintelligence http://www.netintelligence.com/email -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi John, Thanks for further imput. I did think a bit more about it. But since the user interface in LibreOffice makes clear distinction between autocorrect replace and localized options, I think there is no error in the program, just something that is not implemented. It looks as a good idea indeed, so I set the various fields as enhancement and such. |
