Install an English language pack to provide this functionality. Each user can then choose the language in which they wish to work. If you use a variant of English such as en-CA, installing the appropriate dictionaries should be sufficient. If, on the other hand, you wish to use OOo in both languages simultaneously then you should consider installing duplicate copies in the languages of choice. Instructions on how to do this are in the 2.0 SETUP_GUIDE.pdf on the doc project website. For language packs, please see http://oootranslation.services.openoffice.org/pub/OpenOffice.org/2.0.1rc5/ > Last question; > > How do you reply to a given tread in the [EMAIL PROTECTED] I searched the > page and I could not find the "reply" button. > Depends on whether or not you wish to also communicate directly with the person asking the question.
