| − |
| |

| |
| − | == When using asterisks [ asterisk = * ], OpenOffice.org removes the asterisks [ * ] and presents the text in bold. How do reverse this setting? ==
| |
| − | Typing an asterisk [ * ] before and after a word or words allows for words to be made bold without using
| |
| − | the mouse. Similarly, typing an underscore [underscore = _] before and after a word or words allows for words to be underlined.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To reverse this setting:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *Select '''Tools-AutoCorrect/AutoFormat-[Options]'''
| |
| − | *Near the top of the list click the checkbox next to "Automatic *bold* and _underline_" to deselect this choice.
| |
| − | *Click 'OK' at the bottom of the dialog to apply the change.

| |
| − | == How do you turn off the automatic word completion behavior? ==
| |
| − | Open a text document. From the pulldown menus, select:
| |
| − | Tools->AutoCorrect/AutoFormat. Select the "Word Completion"
| |
| − | tab. Deselect the check box to the left of "Complete Words".
| |
| − | Click on OK.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == How do you turn off automatic correction and automatic formatting? ==
| |
| − | OpenOffice.org is configured by default to perform certain automatic formatting and correction as you type. This can be very useful, but can also lead to unexpected results.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You can learn to use this feature, or if you prefer you can turn all or some of the automatic formatting off. You can either:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *Turn ALL off/on: under '''Format->AutoFormat->While Typing'''.
| |
| − | *Turn some off/on: under '''Tools->AutoCorrect'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The table below describes some of the default behaviours and which AutoCorrect setting controls them.<br><br>
