Hi uiucgrad,

thanks for using and supporting OpenOffice...

This is the way auto correct works: it doesn't work case sensitive...


reassigned to mci

set resolution to won't fix

Guys... but take a loot at this:
if we enter "corp" to be replaced by "corporation" the OOo doesn't
allow us to enter the new word "Corp" to be replaced by "Corporation"...

so, what we can do ?

Is normal wish that OOo recognize "corp" and "Corp" as the same word...

Thanx

Flávio

using:
1.1rc4 on Win98

Adding cc

Please guys, reopen this issue...

if this is not a bug (like mci said: "This is the way auto correct
works: it doesn't work case sensitive..."), an you just change to
Enhancement ?

Flávio

utomo> flavio:
Please find better reason why we must have this as enhancement ? 
Please find some reference, example other office suite which have this
feature 
and other to make this feature worthed to add/to consider. 

Hi utomo, thanx for your answer...
look: 
like the user uiucgrad said: if we insert a word, (Tools ->
Autocorrect), like "corp" to be replaced by "corporation" we wish that
when we type "corp", "Corp" or "CORP", e.g., the OOo replace for
"corporation", "Corporation" or "CORPORATION", in order...

In MsWord we can do that... 
(I inserted "cinquenta" to be replaced by "cinqüenta"... when I type
"Cinquenta", I got "Cinqüenta"... 'cause this is what I want)

But, let's say that this is the behavior and it will not change... ok.
So, we should be allowed to insert another words, like "Corp", if
"corp" is already in the autocorrect's list...

Try to insert another word like this: 
Go to Tools -> Autocorrect
Insert the word "corp" to be changed by "corporation"... ok
Try to insert another word: "Corp"...
When you'll type the "p", the word will be changed by the word that is
already in the list ("corp"), disallowing us to insert others words...

So, the problem is how the OOo handles the words capitalization...

I respect all dev's decision, but in this case I think this issue need
to be reopened...

Sorry my bad english.

utomo>flavio:

Thanks for more info. 
I believe to make this happend you need to discuss this in the mailing
list, maybe the correct place is Discuss or user mailing lit. 
exaplain about the problem, provide the link to this issue
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=19811
and why we need this, and use common word and sample, so people will
feel it is OK or not (avoid to use starnge word, such as cinquenta for
example). If there is enough demand I hope we can consider this
enhancement, at least for 2.0, I think. Right now I only change to
enhancement and the subject, if there is enough demand and reason
maybe I can reopen this. meanwhile I also will think about this. 
 

Flávio>utomo
there is a issue
(http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3349) that seems to
have the same question and have the status *NEW*

I just don't know if someone is really work on the issue, but maybe
you know and can tell us if yes or no, 'cause maybe we can leave this
issue (#19811) closed/resolved and start to look to issue #3349.

Flávio

This really should be pretty clear. You see, the autocorrect feature 
should be case sensitive. A person using it to shortcut typing should 
be able to type corp and get corporation (if they set it that way), 
and should separately be able to type Corp (upper case start) to get 
Corporation (upper case start). The two words have different meanings 
in legal papers and are used in the same document commonly. If 
autocorrect is made case sensitive (like Word does), this problem goes 
away.

I beseech you to reopen this issue.
