Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 27146
autocorr file is not written
Last modified: 2004-04-20 14:42:20 UTC
Plattform: SuSE Linux 9.0 OOo1.1 German locale Clients are Suse Linux 9.0, mounting home directories from a NFS/NIS-server (as well SuSE Linux 9.0) using automounter. When I open a new text-document and start writing such as: VANGARD Oxcarbamacepin as soon as I type Oxcarbamacepin again, OOo is proposing the rest of the word. So far it is find. After I saved the doc and shut down OOo, I actually expect, the autocorr to be written to file somewhere in $HOME/OpenOffice.org1.1/user/autocorr a file should be created. After several trials indeed a file has been created, but it does not contain my data. But I can create a file in this directory as a ordinary user whenever I want.

Unfortunatelly I am in a clinic and the colleagues have lots of these ugly words to write. I hope you can give me a hint, and my installation is just miss-configured. I badly need a solution for this, because I want to migrate some users away from M$-Windows and M$-Office to Linux and OOo as soon as possible. So far it's also a political issue here in the clinic. Many thanks in advance and best regards Toni Schlichting
What you're talking about is AutoCompletion - not AutoCorrection. It was not intended to write the completion list into a file. In most of the cases it doesn't make much sense to store it. It would either be a very long list with lots of unwanted suggestions or with an most-recently-used algorithm that would probably too often remove the words you need. A workaraound is to create a document containing all the often needed and complicated words and load this on startup (hidden, using a macro).
