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

Hi :)
It doesn't happen that way very often!  First i've seen of this
particular case in 3 years!  Going in to look at the paths for some
other reason happened maybe 1 or 2 years ago.  It's a neat trick to
know :))

Congrats and regards from
Tom :)
