Dear Tom / StephanI have not seen this feature before in my Lotus 123 or in my old MS Excel either, it may be that the default settings in these are Off, where as the default in LO (and OOo) is clearly On.
I use my "calculator" for anyone to download from my website and the people who download it, may not have the knowledge to switch it off.
http://www.chillypepperhire.co.uk/calculator-downloads.htm - if you enter the number 8 into the "Height" box you will see what I mean (once you get past the open with LO and it opens in "read only" and you have to re-save it anyway- annoyance)
I was hoping that I could just format the cell in some way so the spreadsheet could be used be anyone and not say OMG when they inadvertently enter a number and text appears (as I did).
I suppose the only answer is to re-design the form (unless you know better). regards John B --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On 29/06/2011 11:35, Tom Davies wrote:
Hi :) For most types of auto-complete you can just tap the "Del" key or any character (not enter) while the predicted part is still selected/bold/inverse. If you just press enter then the program happily thinks it guessed right.
