In Writer there are two checkboxes for each entry. They are labeled [M] and [T]. Apparently, [M] is for "do it when user chooses Format → AutoCorrect → Apply from menu". BUT it does work only for paragraphs with Default style. So I wasted last two hours trying to figure it out, until I happened to read this old OOo forum topic: <http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=11777&p=55154> At least, please state clearly in documentation that autocorrection elements with [m] checked will work only for Default style. I have read help files and LibreOffice Writer guide chapter about AutoCorrection. Neither has mentioned that. As larger issue: why does it work only on Default style, anyway? Choosing Format → AutoCorrect → Apply from menu will change style from Default to Text body. What is the point of having menu option that will work only once for paragraph (which may be modified later)?

(In reply to Commit Notification from comment #3) > Seth Chaiklin committed a patch related to this issue. > Relevant to: tdf#59034 mention that [M] only applies to Default The changes will appear in: https://help.libreoffice.org/7.2/en-US/text/shared/01/06040100.html but I already think that it is wrong --- While it seems that most [M] options only work with "default" PS, there are some exceptions (possibly post 2013) Tested with 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ *Only works with Default Paragraph Style* - Use replacement table - Correct TWo INitial CApitals - Delete spaces and tabs at beginning and end of paragraph - Combine single line paragraphs if length greater than.. *Works on many different Paragraph Styles.* Replace blank paragraphs Replace Custom Styles Will have to test further and adjust the documentation accordingly. (or hope that someone with greater insight into the matter will speak up.) (meanwhile, the OP is repro'ed with 7.2.0.0.alpha0+)
