Depending on the version of Windows the OP is using, there are two simple text editors built into the product.
Notepad, which does simple text, with or without wordwrap. WordPad uses WYSIWYG document formats and provides very simple functionality. WordPad may be what the OP wants. There is no auto-correct (no auto spell-checker either), but files can be saved as RTF, DOCX, ODT [!!], and 3 flavors of text. (This is the descendant of the Windows built-in formerly known as "Write.") Both are free and built into Windows. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Doug [mailto:dmcgarr...@optonline.net] Sent: Tuesday, June 23, 2015 13:27 To: users@openoffice.apache.org Subject: Re: Problems auto correct writer On 06/23/2015 02:50 PM, Johnny Rosenberg wrote: > 2015-06-22 22:20 GMT+02:00 Jos Smeets <jossmeets.jossme...@gmail.com>: [ ... ] >> Could you please tell him how to turn every possible, every last, >> every single one function of the auto correct off. Forever. [ ... ] Jos Smeets needs a user-friendly word processor, not Emacs! (I also got tired of having the text-processing software decide what my output should look like.)He didn't mention whether he's using Windows or Linux. If Windows, then WordPerfect is user-friendly and obtainable for a reasonable price. Both Windows and Linux can use TextMaker, which is part of SoftMaker Office, also not very expensive. Neither one is free, altho S/MO has a freebie which has not had very good reviews. The paid version is very nice, and I use it all the time, in Linux. (There is a separate version of SoftMaker for Windows and for Linux.) In all cases, the lower-cost versions are for home, not business use. NB: There will be a new version of SoftMaker Office for Linux in the near future. The new version for Windows is available now. --doug --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org [ ... ] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
