"Autotext is necessary since we are entering a large list of e-mail addresses and would like to autotext the common e-mail addresses to save time."

I haven't really used autotext enough to verify the button is missing as claimed in this bug report. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305343 Title: Base does not allow autotext Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: New Status in OpenOffice: Unknown Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: New Status in openoffice.org package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org When filing in a form (or directly in the table it doesn't matter) in OpenOffice Base it's possible to select a piece of text and push CTRL+F3 to create an autotext from this entry.
