Thanks. I wanted to access writer to post the following, but I thought I had to register, before posting. When I tried to do this the program said my email was already registered, so it wouldn-t let me create another username. This was my problem.

Where did you try to register? If you attempted to register at OpenOffice.org, then follow the advice as provided by TJ Frazer, he was right on the money with his recommendations. (he is a pretty smart guy).

I am using OO3.1 on Windows 7 in France. When I start a text, the program assumes, reasonably, that I am writing Froggylanguage,


Pick self off floor and stop laughing...

and gives me the nice French format that separates quote marks, question marks etc. by spaces marked with blue lines, which I want to keep. But I am writing in Obamaspeak,


Boy, the places I could go with that :-)

and when I change languages to use the spellchecker, this format disappears. If I knew what this format is called, or how to describe these blue spaces I could probably find the answer. I suppose I could switch between langauges continually, but there must be an easier way to do what I want.

Can someone please give me a vocabulary lesson, or point to the solution ?


Is your intent to switch between languages in the same document (a bit of this language, a bit of that language, etc...). If yes, then you may want to create a paragraph style for the different purposes in each language. That may be the easiest way to go for that. If you know that you want the entire document to be in a specific language, that may change things a bit. For me, I would probably then write a macro that changed the selected area to be some language. (then again, if all you know is macros, then you use them to solve everything).

I am not certain that I fully understand your problem, so my advice is probably wrong.


If, perchance, you can solve this, then thanks in advance.

    here: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/search.phtml and entered
    *whyte* as the username.
