Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 23550
"Replace" section of Autocorrect/Autoformat has gone blank
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
I went to Autocorrect/Autoformat from the Tools menu. After clicking through the tabs, I went back to "Replace", highlighted the first row - "(c)" to copyright symbol and hit "Delete". When it still kept replacing it in the document, I went back to the "Replace" tab to find that there were no replacements listed at all. Quitting and restarting does not fix it. I still have a blank list, but the program continues to replace words as normal.
In the directory ~/.openoffice/user/autocorr a new file (acor2057.dat) is created when the "(c)" is deleted. Presumably this file is supposed to be similar to "acor1033.dat", a compressed set of XML files, but it seems to be corrupted as ARK cannot find any files in it. Deleting it and restarting OO brings back the original replacement list without the changes.
reassigend to jw i will have a look on this issue
