Libreoffice Writer: Self correction and comments

Hi!

Today I'm going to write about the function in Libreoffice Writer to correct the texts. On the one hand we have the self correction option, and on the other hand we have the add comments option.

I'm sure that all of you know the self correction option, because when we make some mistakes when we write, the word processor automatically show us the words that we have misspelled.

You can change these options and select the mistakes and corrections that you want the program to show. You have only to click on the “format” menu, the option “self correction” and then “self correction options”. 

It will appear a menu where you can select what the program will correct. For example, if I type two consecutive capital letters, when I press the spacebar, the word processor will correct it and write only the first one.

Another example is when we write an URL and the word processor recognize it and it is marked in blue to create a shortcut.

The self correction is something that is made by the program automatically. However, you can show another corrections or simply comments about a text in margins. That can be useful, for example, if you work in a group and you want to explain or talk with a colleague of something that he has written. You can add the comments in “insert” and “comments”, or pressing Ctrl + Alt + C.

As you can see in the image above, it appears a yellow margin note with the author and the date of the comment. That way, you can make questions and answer it with your colleagues to improve your texts.
