I posted this about a week ago without response. If anyone here knows why
settubg the Locale language to Hebrew might make the program unresponsive
even to attempts to kill it, please enlighten me.
------------------------------------------
I am running AMD Sempron 2800+ 1.6 GHz, 1.00 GB RAM and OO.o 3.0.1 with
the Language Tool extension.
I needed to type a dozen or so Hebrew characters, so I started OO.o Writer,
went to
Help - Language.
This saod to go to
Tools|Options - Languages - locale settings
I the locale to Hebrew, and pressed OK. OO.o Writer became unresponsive,
and other programs worked very slowly. The Task Manager indicated about 70%
CPU use and the system was not swapping inordinately. I waited a while, then
rebooted.
After reboot, OO.o wanted to restore the document, I said no. I restarted
Writer. The initial cursor was set to the right hand side of the screen and
the Language locale was set to Hebrew. I did not muck with it further. I
restored the language locale to English (USA) and decided to ask you guys
about this.
What if anything am I missing here?

David, what OS are you running ? On a Windows machine, wouldn't it be easier
to switch languages using the Microsoft IMEs, while on a Linux machin one
could use SCIM ?...

I am sorry I failed to provide that necessary bit of information. I am
running Windows XP SP3. I don't presently have a Linux machine running.
I do not know what IMEs or SCIM are. I only know what I described in the
message, that is what is suggested by Help.
