How can I delete carriage return from the Autotext of OpenOffice?

[Hridayeshu]

Recently I have installed the latest version of OpenOffice and I am not much aware about it. right now I am trying to implement auto text entries and it is working fine. It is working fine till I am pressing ENTER key to accomplish the entry. the issue is that insertion which I am doing with terminating line feed bringing the cursor at the new paragraph.
In case I wanted to insert
‘Correspondence was received on’ (cursor is located here)
And I am getting
‘Correspondence was received on’
(Cursor is located here)
There is no change in the situation if I edit extra Line Feed.

I could not find out the reason why are you hitting the enter key in order to complete the entery? You can complete the Auto Text entry set up by simply clicking on Auto Text and go for New on Auto Text dialog. After that click on Close. You can complete the Auto Text entry by hitting the F3 key. According to me there is no need of pressing Enter key to complete new Auto Text entry or insertion of the existing Auto Text.

I was suffering the same issue which you have stated over here and I am hoping that it will be useful to you. Well you should try to enter autotext option through New rather than that of ‘New (text only)’ option. The option "New" does not inserts the extra CR/LF automatically.
Let me know whether above mentioned solution worked for you or not.

If you are looking to use New (text only) option then you have to use below mention Macro. It will do only one thing that is backspace.

REM  *****  BASIC  ***** 

sub Backspace 
rem ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
rem define variables 
dim document   as object 
dim dispatcher as object 
rem ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
rem get access to the document 
document   = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame 
dispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper") 

rem ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno :SwBackspace", "", 0, Array()) 


end sub

You have to implement the execution of the above mentioned macro into After inserting AutoText or AutoText entry events.

I think below mentioned steps will help you out to fix the matter of yours.
Copy and paste the desire text into OpenOffice.org Writer document.

• Click on Tools and select AutoCorrect.
• Now click on Options tab.
• You have to click on Combine single line paragraphs if length greater than 50% checkbox.
  
• Click on Ok button and press Ctrl and K together to select the Text.
• Click on Format and go for Default Formatting.
• Again click on Format and click on AutoCorrect and select Apply.
