Dear Robert,

Thank you very much for your reply. Now I know how to bypass the typing of
fn and the pressing of F3.

I typed fn in the Equation Editor and I found just fn in the document.
Beside the fn in the document, I pressed F3, and I got an onscreen message:

AutoText for Shortcut " not found.

So I think that something is missing on my computer, or at least on my
LibreOffice.

I have some more questions, which I hope I can post here in the coming days.

Sincerely,

Taang Zomi
