Description lars 2003-09-03 12:16:48 UTC
don't interprete '.' as end of sentence when used for abbreviations: don't 
apply auto-correct then!


abbreviations are for example in english:  ie. ,  eg.
                              in german :  bzw. ,  b.w.

TM->BH: Please have a look, thanks !
Comment 2 lars 2003-09-03 12:42:06 UTC
btw. those german abbr. are not the translation of the english ones
Comment 3 stp 2005-10-21 21:28:59 UTC
WORKSFORME now if the abbreviation is listed as abbreviation in Tools ->
AutoCorrect -> Exceptions.

lars, please close issue if you agree.
Comment 4 lars 2005-10-29 13:31:25 UTC
although nothing is listed under Tools->AutoCorrect->Exceptions -- it's just a 
dialogue to add exceptions -- ie. "eg." works: no Capital correction after the 
dot.


how do I close this issue?

Hi!

Apparently I submitted a similar Issue 58643. The abbreviations that should be
included are "i.e." and "e.g.". Now be careful, they are not "ie." and "eg."
Comment 7 stefan.baltzer 2006-02-21 12:52:04 UTC
SBA: THIS issue here is about the Auto-Capitalisatin behind an abbreviation.
There is an easy way to add abbreviations so that they appear in the list.
As soon as they are in the list, no capitalisatun will take place anymore.
So this issue can be closed.

Issue 58643 is about what's in the abbreviation list by default. THAT
enhancement request may well survive.
