Description Larry Tate 2011-06-03 09:42:30 UTC
I am trying to use the Autotext feature to build a large collection of commonly used comments for student essays.

Autotext works perfectly within the document itself. However, if one attempts to insert a note and then insert an autotext snippit within it, autotext is grayed out and will not function.

I don't understand why this feature would not be available within a note. Seems like an easy fix that will add more functionality for users.

Still reproducible with LibO 3.6.0.4 (Build ID: 932b512).

REOPENED as request for enhancement.

Never confirmed by QA team - moving to UNCONFIRMED.

Hi, I think that you mean it's impossible to add in Comments, because it's possible in footnotes or endnotes. I think it's a valid enhancement so set as New and will adapt the summary. Sophie
