For more information +on setting the format options for replacement text, see the section on +Changing the format of the autocorrection string. + + +Adding an autocorrection string + +To add an autocorrection string, simply type the text you want &kpresenter; to +check for in the text box labeled +Find:, then enter the text you want &kpresenter; +to substitute in the text box labeled Replace:. + + +If you want to insert symbols or special characters not available on your +keyboard, you can click the +buttons with three periods on them and select a special character from the table provided. + +When these are entered, click Add.... Your text +strings are now added to the table. + + + +Editing an autocorrection string +Changing the text you want to find. +&kpresenter; does not allow you to change the text to search for. +This is to prevent disastrous mistakes. +Instead, you must delete the current autocorrection rule and +add a new text string with the corrected text to find. + +Changing the text you want to replace. +Begin by clicking once on the string you want to edit.

A small dialog will appear: + + + + + + + +You can use this dialog to select the format of the replaced text. +The left column consists of 13 check boxes. If there is a mark in the check box, then &kpresenter; will change +any replaced text to match the property selected. +If no mark is in the check box, &kpresenter; does not consider that property when replacing text. + + + + +Family: + +Use this combo box to select the font family you want your replacement text to use. + + + + +Size: + +Use this spin box to set the font size you want &kpresenter; to use for your replaced text. + + + + +Color: and Background color: + +Clicking on either of these two buttons allows you to select the font color and/or background color respectively, +you want &kpresenter; to use. + + + + +Bold: and Italic: + +Use these Yes/No radio buttons to determine whether you want &kpresenter; +to change the fonts to boldface or italicized fonts. + + + + +Strikeout: + +You can select None, Single, Double +or Simple Bold to use for the replacement text. + + + + +Underline: + +You can select None, Single, Double, +Simple Bold or Wave to use for the replacement text. + + + + +Vertical alignment: + +You can select Normal, Superscript or +Subscript to determine what font alignment you want &kpresenter; to use. + + + +Shadow: and Word by word: + +Use these Yes/No radio buttons to determine whether you want &kpresenter; +to use shadow text and/or word by word underlining and strikethrough in the replacement text. + + + + +Capitalization: + +You can select Normal, Uppercase, Lowercase, or +Small Caps to determine what capitalization to use for the replacement text. + + + + +Language: + +You can select the language of the text you will use to replace the found text. + + + + +Once you have selected your options, click OK to accept your text options. +Click Cancel to ignore all changes. +Click Reset to restore the options dialog box to the initial values prior to making any changes. +Click Clear to remove all marks from the checked options. + + + + +<guilabel>Exceptions</guilabel> + +There are instances where &kpresenter; will make autocorrection changes +that are inappropriate. You can use the fourth tab of this dialog to define +exceptions to the rules previously discussed. +The dialog for exceptions is shown below: + + +Exceptions + + + + +Exceptions + + + +To prevent &kpresenter; from deciding an abbreviation or other text is +the end of a sentence, simply enter the text fragment in the text box below +Do not treat as the end of a sentence:. Then click +Add. +As an example: Adding Jr. to this dialog prevents +Robert Jones Jr. is a friend of the family. +from being changed to: +Robert Jones Jr. Is a friend of the family. +To remove an erroneous entry, simply click once on the wrong entry with the &LMB; +and click on the Remove button. +The second set of boxes performs a similar function to the first except text entered in these boxes will allow two capital letters in a word if it +is entered in this text box. +Simply enter the word in the text box below +Accept two uppercase letters in:. Then click +Add. +As an example: Adding CD to this dialog prevents +CD +from being changed to: +Cd +To remove an erroneous entry, simply click once on the wrong entry with the &LMB; +and click on the Remove button. + + + +Manually applying autocorrection + +If autocorrection is turned off in your document, you can manually enable autocorrection. +To manually apply autocorrection, first configure your options by using the +autocorrection dialogs. +Then select +TextAutocorrectionApply Autocorrection +from the menubar. +&kpresenter; will start at the beginning of the document and apply all selected autocorrection options to the entire document. +When &kpresenter; is finished, it will return you to your document for further editing. +For more information on enabling and disabling autocorrection, +see Enabling/Disabling Autocorrection. + + + + + +The <guilabel>Configure Completion</guilabel> Dialog + +Autocompletion allows you to type the first few letters of a commonly +used word (often technical or job specific), and tells &kpresenter; to +finish typing the word for you. This is often very useful when you have lengthy technical words. + + +Using autocompletion +Using autocompletion could not be easier. Simply type the first few +letters of the word you want &kpresenter; to finish, and press +&Ctrl;E. &kpresenter; will look +through the list of autocompletion words and if it finds a word which begins +with those letters, it will finish entering the remainder of the word. + +Adding words to autocompletion +&kpresenter; maintains a list of words for each user that will be used for autocompletion. +You can add words to this list one of two ways: + +&kpresenter; can automatically add new words to the completion list for later approval. +This is selected using the dialog. +Individual words can be added to the list by using +the dialog. + + + + + +Configuring autocomplete +To configure autocompletion, select +SettingsConfigure Completion... +from the menubar. This will bring up a dialog. + + +Completion Dialog + + + + +Completion Dialog + + + + + +Enable word completion +It is used to toggle autocompletion on and off. + + + +Add + +By clicking this button you can manually add +an individual word to the completion list. + + + + +Remove + +To remove words from the completion list, select the word with the &LMB; +from the list, then click this button. + + + + +Automatically add new words to suggestion list + +This option will add any word equal to or longer than +the Characters needed: to the list of proposed +autocompletion words. +The large listbox in the center of the dialog contains the current +proposed list of autocompletion words. +Not all words listed in the list box will be immediatly affected by +autocompletion when entered into this dialog. + + + + +Show words in tooltip + +If this option is enabled, a tool tip box will appear when you type the +beginning of a word that exists in the completion list. To complete the word, +press the key you set to accept suggestions in the Key to accept +suggestion: drop-down list. + + + + + +Characters needed: + +Use this spinbox/slider combination to prevent &kpresenter; +from automatically adding short words to the completion list. You can select +any value from 5-100 and the words will need to be at least the number of +characters set here to be added in the list. + + + + +Suggest words: + +This spinbox/slider combination can be adjusted to allow more or less +words into the autocompletion list. This option is most important when +Automatically add new words to suggestion list is enabled. +This option keeps the list from becoming too cumbersome. You can select any +value from 1 to 500. + + + + +Append space + +If checked, it adds a single space to the end of a word after +autocompletion, this means it is not necessary to add the space manually for the +next word. + + + + +Key to accept suggestion: + +Set the key you want to use when an autocompleted word is suggested to you +and you want to accept it. You can choose +Enter, Tab, Space, +End or Right. + + + + +Make Default + +A word is not part of autocompletion until the list is +saved to disk. At that moment, &kpresenter; +will use that saved list for all autocompletion, until the list is replaced with +another saved list. +Some of the words in the autocompletion list may not have been saved +yet.To save the current list to disk and have &kpresenter; begin +using this new list for autocompletion, click this button. + + + + +Click OK to save your options.

Default is 1 centimeter. + + + + + + +<guilabel>Color</guilabel> + + +Color + + + + +Color + + + + + +Background object color: +It changes the background color of the text box. The Text boxes background is white by default. If you had a dark +background color and you wanted to put some white text over it, you +could color the text box so that you could see what you were +typing. When you have finished, the area around the text would revert +to whatever the background color was. The +Defaults button restores the original +settings. + + + +Grid color: +You can change here the grid color which is black as default. + + + + + + + +<guilabel>Spelling</guilabel> + +This tab defines the spellchecker behavior. + + +Spelling + + + + +Spelling + + + + + +Default language: +You can choose here the language for the spellchecker.

This is enabled by default. This option has the same effect as TextSpellcheckAutospellcheck and both are checked/unchecked at the same time. + + + +Skip all uppercase words +If this option is checked, the all uppercase words will not be checked for spelling. This option is also used when you choose the TextSpellcheckSpelling... menu option. +This is useful if the document you are working on uses a large number of acronyms. If this box is left unchecked, most of those acronyms will be incorrectly marked. By placing a mark in this checkbox, &kpresenter; will not mark the acronyms as misspelled. + + + +Skip run-together words +If checked, then concatenated words made of existing words are not spellchecked. This is useful in some languages. This option is also used when you choose the TextSpellcheckSpelling... menu option. +Examples of such words are shutout, +cannot and blackout. + +Checking this box will help prevent &kpresenter; from +flagging website and email addresses for spelling errors. These +addresses often contain words run together. + + + + + +Ignore These Words +You can have here a list of words you want to ignore in all spellchecking. + + + +Add +Write a word in the field then click on the Add button to add it in the list.

Any action that exceeds the number set will be forgotten. + + + +Display links +When you want to include a link in your slide, you will use the InsertLink... menu which allows you to insert URL, mail or file links. If the option Display links is checked, all links will be displayed in a different color. This makes document links visible. This is the default behavior. If the option is unchecked, the link will be the same color as the text color. The links are visible (or not) both in the edited slides and in the slide show. A displayed link: + A non displayed link: + + + + +Underline all links +If this is checked, all links will be underlined. The option is checked per default. If it is not checked, the link will not be underlined. A displayed and underlined link: + + + + +Display comments +Comments are inserted in the text at the cursor using the InsertComment... menu. Comments can only be viewed in editing mode and not in the slide show. If this option is checked (default) then each comment will be shown as a small yellow rectangle. You can then right click on it to edit it, remove it or copy its text. A displayed comment: + + + + + + +Display field code +In editor mode (not in slide show) this option will display all the variable codes. This is very useful to see what variable is displayed. Variables are inserted using the InsertVariable menu. + + + +Print slide notes +If checked, all notes will be printed on paper. The notes will all be printed on a separate last page, from slide one to the last slide and finishing with the Master Page Note.

This is not set as default. + + + + + +<guilabel>Document Settings</guilabel> + +Create backup file +If checked, this will create a .<name>.odp.autosave.odp in the dir where your file is. This backup file can then be used in case of a problem. The backup file is updated everytime you save your document or everytime there is an autosave. + + + +Autosave (min): +You can use this to adjust how often &kpresenter; saves a temporary file. If you set this value to No autosave, &kpresenter; will not autosave. You can adjust the autosave from 1 minute to 60 minutes. + + + +Starting page number: +You can change here the number for the first page. It is set to 1 per default. +This is helpful if you have split a single document into multiple files. + + + +Tab stop: +Each &kpresenter; document has a default set of tab stops. If you add tab stops to your document, the newly added tab stops override the default tabstops. You can use this text box to define the spacing between default tab stops. +As an example, if you enter 1.5 in this text box, and the unit of measure is in centimeters, then the first default tab stop will be located 1.5 cm to the right of the left margin of the frame. The second default tab stop will be located at 3 cm from the left margin, etc. + + + + +<guilabel>Cursor</guilabel> + +Cursor in protected area +When this box is checked and you click in a protected frame of your document, a cursor appears.
