The language used for checking spelling is also shown in the status
bar, next to the page style in use.
You can also configure the language for a paragraph or a group of
characters as None. This option is particularly useful in the case
where you insert in the document text that you do not want to
spellcheck, such as web addresses or programming language snippets.
Using AutoCorrect
Writer’s AutoCorrect function has a long list of common misspellings
and typing errors, which it corrects automatically. For example, “hte”
will be changed to “the”. Select Tools > AutoCorrect to open the
AutoCorrect dialog. There you can define which strings of text are
corrected and how. In most cases, the defaults are fine.
Tip
AutoCorrect is turned on by default. To turn it off, uncheck
Format > AutoFormat > While Typing.
To stop Writer from replacing a specific spelling, use Tools >
AutoCorrect > Replace, highlight the word pair and click Delete.
To add a new spelling to correct, type it into the
Replace
and
With
boxes and click New.
See the different tabs of the dialog for the wide variety of other options
available to fine-tune AutoCorrect.
Tip
AutoCorrect can be used as a quick way to insert special
characters. For example, (c) will be autocorrected to ©. You
can add your own special characters.
Using word completion
If Word Completion is enabled, Writer tries to guess which word you
are typing and offers to complete the word for you. To accept the
suggestion, press
Enter
. Otherwise continue typing.
Tip
Many people prefer not to use Word Completion. If you do not
want to use it, select Tools > AutoCorrect > Word
Completion and uncheck
Enable Word Completion
