Some more info:
i exported the document as TeX and run LaTeX on it and it says:
....
Babel <v3.6x> and hyphenation patterns for american, french, german,
ngerman, i
talian, nohyphenation, loaded.
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/article.cls

Package babel Warning: No hyphenation patterns were loaded for
(babel) the language `Finnish'
(babel) I will use the patterns loaded for \language=0
instead.
....
Does it say this because there isn't Finnish hyphenation package
installed? Is the fix as simple as getting some package from CTAN and
installing it? Or is there something else wrong?
