is there any chance of an actual reply please?
Steve --
I don't know if you are familiar with the way things work here. This is
a mailing list comprised of volunteers. Sometimes, no one knows the
answer to a question. If that is the case, people generally don't reply.
Also, as we are a list, all replies by default come back to the list, so
if someone is unsubscribed, like yourself, replies might not always make
it back to the original poster. It is possible that someone replied, but
didn't cc you because they didn't know you weren't subscribed.
Please be patient and respectful as we are all volunteers and not paid
employees.
As for your question. Not know what you have done, I will offer some
suggestions.
Select *Tools > Options > Language Settings > Languages* and change the
default to GB. This should fix most of the problem. Since you have
searched the site exhaustively, I am sure you found that already.
The other problem might be that you paragraphs are not set to the right
language. You need to open the Stylist (/F11/) and right click on the
paragraph styles you use and select modify, and then click on the font
tab and change the language setting there too.
In the future, if you posts don't get answered expediently enough, there
are other way to get information. (Please see below.)
Did you know that there are more ways to find OOo info than the user
list? They might even save you the time of waiting! Here are some other
suggested areas to check:
1) Use OOo help.
2) Go to <<documentation.openoffice.org>>. Search the *docs*, *FAQs* and
*How To's*. Many questions are already answered.
3) Scan the mailing list archives for related messages. You can search
the users list here <<http://tinyurl.com/6edyk>>.
4) Use Google or other search engine.
5) If these fail, then ask on an appropriate list.
These tips are expanded upon at <<http://tinyurl.com/3qy4k>>.
