Description oharboe 2004-01-07 10:46:28 UTC 
An annoying thing with OpenOffice(and MS Office for that matter) is to figure 
out how to disable "helpful features"

E.g. when I enter a date in a table in OpenOffice Writer, it is converted to a 
textual date:

a) I have to know that there is an option to disable this behaviour
b) I have to figure out where to configure the option

Idea:

The first time OpenOffice tries to "help" in the manner above, show a 
requester with a text like:

"OpenOffice can automatically convert your date in numeric form to textual 
date. Would you like OO to always to so?

Yes (checked by default) No"

Here is another one:

"Would you like to autocorect 'i' to 'I'?

Yes (checked by default) No"

"You just entered a bullit point, would you like OO to always format it for 
you?

Yes (checked by default) No"


- Possibly add a "never show these configuration as you go requesters" 
checkbox.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
