Re: Auto correct



Carl,

I thought I had found a clever solution to my you being automatically
converted to You in mid-sentence. In my pers.spl file, I added youi you.

As long as I remembered to add the i after you, it corrected my misspelling
and did not capitalize the you!

Then I found an easier answer that is also a tad mysterious. I deactivated
auto-correct and reactivated it. Suddenly the you/You problem went away!

Phillip,

whenever I type you it is immediately changed to You.

I assume that if you disable auto-correct, the problem persists? If it's not auto-correct (a/k/a auto-replace), it might be auto- uppercase -- which capitalizes the first word of every sentence (command AU toggles it). But this would apply to *every* first word, not just "you", and it would not capitalize "you" mid-sentence. My best guess is that some external program is commandeering the keyboard, but even there it seems unlikely that it would only affect "you". A mystery, but no cause for paranoia ... probably. But seriously .. have you made any changes to your setup that might be suspect here? -- Carl Distefano
