Autocorrect.txt file not working in Paratext

Question

I am trying to set up an autocorrect.txt file in a Paratext 9.5 project. I have followed the instructions in the Paratext help files. It doesn't seem to be working at all. What could be wrong?

Answer 1

It would be helpful to see some of the contents of your autocorrect.txt file. Can you share some of it here?

Sure, here's a sample:

# Implosives
@b-->\u02BCb
@d-->\u02BCd
@g-->\u02BCg
@j-->\u02BCj
@B-->\u02BCB
@D-->\u02BCD
@G-->\u02BCG
@J-->\u02BCJ

# High tone
*a-->\u00E1
*e-->\u00E9
*i-->\u00ED
*o-->\u00F3
*u-->\u00FA
*A-->\u00C1
*E-->\u00C9
*I-->\u00CD
*O-->\u00D3
*U-->\u00DA

Answer 2

Have you restarted Paratext after you created the autocorrect.txt? The samples that you made work fine for me.

Yes I have, plus send/receive and restarted my computer... Have I got it in the right place?

you file might be named autocorrect.txt.txt

1. Click View -> Show -> File name extensions

and rename it to autocorrect.txt

Ah, I have found the problem - I had managed to name the file autocorrect.txt.txt! I noticed that when I attached it to send to you. It's working now that I have changed that. Thanks for your help!
