Thanks for the suggestion. That does make it a bit easier when the entire document will be in Spanish. But I still need sometimes to write different sections of the same document in different languages, so I still need to be able to get to the Spanish dictionary setting in an English document. I still think something is messed up. Either that or the OOo user interface is hopeless. I can't believe you have to go into Tools > Options to change a document, and then you can change only the entire document, not just parts of it. As international as OOo is, this just can't be true. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
