To cite a certain Harold Fuchs : «I don't want "clues". Nor does the OP of this thread. A single link, please. ... One of them, right down near the bottom, looks like it might be what the OP wants...» That is precisely what I provided, with information on how to get to the specific link on which to click and an explanation of the alternatives that will then be presented. That OOo could do a better job of presenting links to UK English versions of the office suite is undeniable, but my concern was to help the OP and others on the list that might want access to this link. Thank you for your courteous reception of my efforts !... Henri
