F3

I've set up auto text -  but on my Mac,
F3 opens Mission Control.

How can I get Autotext to function ???

Thanks.

Thank you ...

I just tried it - modified to  shift+F7
But it does nothing
Tried it with ctrl7 but again nothing.
I'm using OO 4.1.2 - could that be a problem ?

Appreciate you help.

Patricia.

If the F3 is used by your Operating System, you can assign and other Key.
Go to Tools -> Customize Click on Keyboard and assign Autotext to an 
other Key or Key Combination e.g. Cntr+F3
OK you need to remember the changes as the Help file still refer to F3

Re: F3 on mac

The defaults for the F keys are things like audio control, mission control, etc. To make f3 function as an F key, hold down the Function key at the same time. There's also a system setting that reverses this behavior.
