How do I enable autocorrect in writer? The help says to go to

no such option. Any thoughts? I'm using 2.4.1-17.4.fc9.i386 (Fedora
9).
I seem to recall that feature was taken out thanks to patent paranoia.
Oy... Seriously, if we can replace boring quotes with left/right pairs,
or autocomplete words, *how* is that sufficiently different from
autocorrect that the latter is patentable while the former are not? How
are *CJK input methods* not patentable? (For that matter, how is
autocorrect patentable, period? This smells like something begging to be
challenged and thrown out.)
/me no like ridiculous software patents :P
You could try uninstalling the Fedora supplied package, and installing
the one from the OpenOffice.org website, but then you need to keep it up
to date, yourself, it'll be orphaned from "yum update".
Sigh. I guess I'll have to do that.
