Auto correction tab

FreeOffice: This auto correct function is not included in SoftMaker FreeOffice.

If the Automatically correct common typos function is enabled on the Options tab, common typos can be corrected automatically by Presentations.

On the Auto correction tab, you will find a list where you can enter typical typos and their corresponding correct spelling. An extensive list is already provided for many languages.

You can add new word pairs to this list, or edit or delete existing word pairs.

Note: The list is automatically linked to the language that is set as the default language (see Setting the language). However, you can also edit the lists for other languages independently at the top of the Auto correction tab.

Add new word pairs to auto correction

1.On the Auto correction tab, click in the Replace: field and enter the term here as you typically misspell it.
2.Then click in the With: field and enter the correct spelling for this term here.
3.Click on the Add button.
Add further word pairs to this list in this way.

The newly added terms are now included in the auto correction list and the incorrect spelling will be automatically corrected with the right spelling in future.

Edit existing word pairs

1.On the Auto correction tab, click on the word pair that you want to change in the lower list.
2.In the Replace: and With: fields, adjust the incorrect and correct spelling to your liking:
If you change something in the Replace: field (left side, for the wrong spelling), pressing the Add button will add the new word pair to the auto correction list. The original word pair also remains in the list.
If you change something in the With: field (right side, for the correct spelling), pressing the Replace button will overwrite the original word pair in the auto correction list.

Delete word pairs

1.In the lower list on the Auto correction tab, click on the term that should no longer trigger an automatic correction.
2.Click on the Delete button.

The term is deleted and will not be detected by auto correction in future.
