A language _is_ a character attribute to OOo. A character style is a bundle of character attributes. Doing it with a macro lets me pick one attribute out of this bundle and apply it. > That would be like saying that you can use > macros instead of styles all over the place. Which is > *wrong*. Why? It may be clunky, or inconvenient, but there's no deep reason why styles shouldn't be applied through a macro interface rather than the stylist. > > The question is: what happens if instead of changing > the oTC charLocale you apply some style? > If that style changes the language, you _are_ then changing the charLocale of the selected text. Try it. Write a macro that selects all the words in a particular language -- whether or not they have been marked that way with a style. The only way to do so is to iterate through the text looking for a particular charLocale. -- Andrew Brown The email in the header does not work.
