Actual results: See above Expected results: Should be a replace tab in AutoCorrect window. Additional info:
The replacement table was removed on request from Fedora Legal several years ago, because of possible intellectual property (or whatever they call that stuff) problems. Do not ask me about details because I do not know them...
Then please update the documentation supplied with Fedora to reflect this deficit. Thanks
Red Hat reviews and scrubs its code for intellectual property issues. Our approach has always been conservative, i.e., if there is any question, resolve the issue or remove the code. Red Hat recently implemented a number of changes in its distribution of OpenOffice to address such issues. These changes should not be construed as implying any immediate intellectual property problem; rather, they have been implemented to assure that no such immediate problems arise. While implementing these changes in our own distribution of OpenOffice, we have also made them available upstream to the OpenOffice project.
