It's interesting you have that problem. I have found that Apache OpenOffice does not properly hyphenate US English, but that LibreOffice does. Sorry I don't have a solution for you, but it's interesting that the problem would crop up in LibO. Virgil -Original Message- From: J.

You said that you downloaded and installed an English dictionary. Not all of the dictionaries out there have the hyphen ability. Where did you get the dictionary from? Are you sure it has the hyphenation ability? This American English extension does have the hyphen ability

I hate to say it, but I think in business MS compatibility is THE paramount concern. When I was working for a large business, I used LibO only for documents I knew I didn't have to share with others. For anything that had to be used by others, I used MS Office. I realize that LibO is highly

Hey, Firstly, thanks for your answer and wasting time with me. The problem is that I'm using a heavily modified NuTyX, so I can't use the binary package. And I want to build my own. (with a modified Pkgfile, the official one uses the download script to download missing packages, which I don't want

In practical use, I would NOT say LO (or OOo) has a high file compatibility with MS Office. Virtually every file I receive from MS Office users has some kind of problem (bullet lists almost NEVER convert correctly, at least from MSO to LO). I'm only an occasional Office suite user so I put

Like Carl. I unfortunately cannot contribute to development work. I would just like to come back to productivity and my own experience: LibO has features which are as good or better than MSO in respect to productivity. What reduces my productivity are bugs (first it takes time to find out is a
