I have LibreOffice 5.2.2.2
In Calc, the first word in a cell is still capitalized despite my turning off that option in AutoCorrect Options. What can I do to stop this annoying behaviour? The only solution I have found is to insert a space before the first word…
Why cannot the default setting be no correction? Users could then select any they wanted, instead of having to waste a lot of time fighting the software!
Hi
What you want (do not capitalize first letter in a cell) is the default feature. More, the AutoCorrect option (Capitalize first letter of every sentence) does not apply to the first sentence. See help.
So, I do not reproduce the problem on my platform (windows 7/64 & 5.2). What is your environment ?
[EDIT]

Thanks for this (& apologies for slow reply: we had an internet failure for the whole area near my French flat). I use Win 10 64 bit and, as I said, 5.2.2.2. So it’s strange that I have the problem and you don’t.
Some “autocapitalisations” may in fact be autosubstitutions – i.e. it may not be capitalising the first word in general, anymore but THAT word you have at the beginning of your sentence is a special replacement rule.
(Took me forever to figure out how to stop it calc from capitalising i, for example.)
I don’t know what kind of sentence you’re trying to decapitalise, but I’d take a look at the “replace” rider in the autocorrect options.
