Disabling auto format
I have a new computer and have installed a new copy of open office and
cannot remember how to disable one of the auto correct features. In
particular, I do not want it to automatically change the first letter
after a period to an upper case letter. In case it matters, I'm on
Windows 7 and OOo 3.4.1.
Under help I found this:
To Stop Capitalizing the First Letter of a Sentence
1.
Choose *Tools -- AutoCorrect Options*.
2.
Click the *Options* tab.
3.
Clear the "Capitalize first letter of every sentence" check box.
However under the Tools menu the only entries are:
Macros >
Extension Manager...
Customize...
Options...
So I looked under Options but still found nothing about AutoCorrect.

That's because you have yet to open a document. Menus are often
context-dependent. Create or open an appropriate document and you
will see the options you need.
I trust this helps.

Thanks guys. That was so simple... and logical. You'd never believe I
was a software engineer before I retired 12 years ago.

Hi the entries in the tool menu changes depending
on the document type you have open.
When you have no document type selected it shows
the four options you described.
