Re: [libreoffice-users] autotext in 4.xx - anybody please

Hi Thomas,

I just tried this on my computer by following the instructions in the manual.

To Create an AutoText Entry
1. Select the text, text with graphics, table, or field that you want
to save as an AutoText entry. A graphic can only be stored if it is
anchored as a character and is preceded and followed by at least one
text character.
2. Choose Edit - AutoText.
3. Select the category where you want to store the AutoText.
4. Type a name that is longer than four characters. This allows you to
use the Display remainder of name as suggestion while typing AutoText
option. If you want, you can modify the proposed shortcut.
5. Click the AutoText button, and then choose New.
6. Click the Close button.

I also downloaded the 4.2.1.1 from the official website about a week
ago, so I don't know where you were looking.
