How can I change minimum word length in writer to 3 [closed]

edit

Thanks to @froz for the screenshot with the encoding settings. As @owen pointed out it seems that I am missing the font to display Punjab. Thus I am out of the discussion.

As ROSt52 pointed out it looks to me Punjabi is using 2-bytes per one character. If this is correct then change settings Tools | AutoCorrect Options | Word Completion tab | settings Min. word length. to 8.

It may also be dependent of Writer language settings. Maybe you are using wrong language settings... From Tools | Language Settings | Languages | Locale settings. I think you should set it to Punjabi. For current document select all of the text with CTRL+A and then select from menu Tools | Language | For all Text | Punjabi.

@froz - Please let me answer to your comment here. I might need more characters than available in a note.

From the way Japanese (double byte) characters and words are handled in a SW, the auto-completion of words has no influence. The conversion from latin characters to a hiragana (a basic Japanese character set) is fixed because it there is a 1:1 relation existing. From hiragana to the complex kanji characters (they look very similar to Chinese characters) the conversion must be triggered by the writer with the correct selection.

If I understand how the conversion from latin characters to Punjabi characters are done I MIGHT be able to give @gagmani a hint. I also need to get correction of my assumption that the keyboard @gagmani is using has latin characters to enter information leading to Punjabi characters.

@froz - thanks for joining this discussion. It could be a very tricky one. Let's see!

@gagmani - I don't know more about Punjabi, then that it is the most spoken language in Pakistan. Looking at how the Punjabi words in your question appear on my screen I assume that Punjabi is in computer terms a double byte language like, Japanese, Chinese.

Here is the screenshot of what I see.

To me it currently appears that your question has to do with the conversion of keyboard entries to double byte words.

Should you cannot get an answer to your question, I need to know how you write Punjap and how it is supported by SW. Especially I need to understand if your word "character" refers to a single byte character or a double byte.
