I should have checked first... seems to me that if you use the standard OOo download, then 'Tools|Options|Laguage Settings|Languages|Default languages for documents|Western|English UK' you can "organise' and 'organize' to your heart's content. I checked this with a fresh install of OOo 2.4.1 in WinXP. Or am I still missing something here? Note: I did download and install the gb language pack for OOO300m6 (the next development version after OOo3.0RC1) and didn't seem to detect anything different than if I'd not installed it. So, what specifically does the gb language pack do that is not included in the original english download? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
