OpenOffice Weirdy

AutoInput sounds like a seriously tulipty feature - and it is on by default? WOW

I am glad I don't have to use that.

Once you get used to it, it is very helpful.

I find predictive texting on SMS utterly unhelpful. But in my OO.o spreadsheets where I record my gig-hunting, the same values and text strings keep coming up and AutoInput is helpful. So it might be 'horses for courses'.

It is weird to use in the OO.o word processor; I find it most useful when working on a long document on one subject. So for project documentation it is great since that mostly comprises writing the same stuff in different ways for different audiences.

Hmm a good argument. Bugger. So I guess it is not a complete tulip feature. But this is CUK so I WILL NOT CHANGE MY MIND!!!!!!!

It's also useful in spreadsheets for entering expenses and bills.

Grr, spit. It still takes an age to fire up.
