Hi :)
Part of the purpose of a list is that many different view-points can be expressed by individuals.  
As you point out many of us may well not agree with the wisdom of many of the posts but hopefully 
by gathering different points-of-view people can assess and perhaps change their own points-of-view 
and hopefully solve whatever problems are being faced.  


Many languages have a phrase for it, i think the French say something like "Vive la difference" but 
in England we don't like having choices and prefer just being given orders.  I've been trying to 
create a chant or something for OpenSource here.  Something like "Diversity breeds serendipity" but 
it's not very catchy nor easy to shout out.  


Personally i think regardless of what does or doesn't happen by default in different people's 
version is fairly irrelevant.  Most people like and expect these things to happen exactly as they 
work in Word and other appalling products but other people prefer to have a tough time of it.  All 
three ways and others are valid imo.  If someone could post a script as an Extension so that it's 
easy for people to strip out all the 'useful' 'helpful' automatic bits then we could satisfy people 
from both groups.  In much the same way as we have different languages we could allow people of 
different view-points to get some satisfaction without spoiling things for the majority.  


Regards from 

Tom :)

I wonder what "office suites" you are using. Neither LO or AOO default
to turning a (c) into a © - (C) does.

But guess what? Microft Word does it for both... (c) and (C).

Next...

So, based on this small detail you insinuate that the user is lying and
ignore all the rest of the message...

That is exactly the kind of support that people need on a User mailing list!

Please think about this: "Don't say/write everything that you think, but
think everything that you say/write"
