spelling error in documentation

There is a minor error in the documentation for the current release of Open
Office.

See the attached image and note word in the red ellipse.

*Affect* is the correct word to use, not *effect*.

The basic rule of thumb is that “*affect*” is almost always a verb and “
*effect*” is usually a noun. There are deviations from this, but when in
doubt, stick to the rule. If you need help remembering, think of this
mnemonic device: The action is *affect*, the end result is *effect*.

Don't give a merit raise to your documentation copy editor!
