    The Autocorrect function in OpenOffice is impossible to use because the tab Replace doesn't exist! Is it a bug? Upgrading OpenOffice (how to do that, also!!!???) will fix the problem? I've tried lots of things, nothing works!!!

    What tab Replace button are you talking about? Correct me if I'm completely misunderstanding you, but...
    The One's keyboard has a tab button (at least mine does). But you don't need to push any buttons for autocorrect to work. There's a list of common typos that Open Office will replace with the intended word (you can view the list if you go under the "tools" tab and go to "AutoCorrect..." and in that menu under the "Replace" tab. If you type in any of the common mistakes on the left, it automatically replaces it with the word on the right after you push the spacebar.

    I think he means that the "replace" tab is missing in the autocorrect menu.

    That's it TS, thanks for correcting my mistake. Anyway, it is impossible to use the Autocorrect.

    I noticed this too and it really bugged me at first. So why is impossible? Just a linux thing or just an old version on the A1

    Oh wow that's really weird. What version of Open Office is on it? I have the 120GB HDD windows version with Open Office 2.4, and it definitely has it on there.

    OpenOffice 2.3, Linux Linpus. I use Ubuntu on desktop with OpenOffice 2.3 and everything is OK. I think it's a problem between Linpus (or Fedora) and OpenOffice. I don't know what to do!!!
