Hi!
Someone sent me a ppt file and when I look at it with OOo
Impress, it look OK, BUT it seems like all of the text is in
English (Format - Characters - Font - Language), but all the text
is in Swedish. This cause every word to be shown as wrong
spelled. So I need to change all the characters of the file to
Swedish. The text is located in different text boxes so I can't
just highlight all the text with Ctrl-A. I am talking about maybe
50 text boxes or so on 27 pages. Is there an easy way, except
writing a macro, to change all of the text in that document to
Swedish? Of course I could just turn the spell checker off, but I
want to use the spell checker also, since I know some words here
and there are wrong spelled too...
Does anyone even understand what I am talking about here...? =)
So:
1. Someone created this ppt file and typed it in Swedish. The
file was then sent to me, and I am free to do what I want with it.
2. OOo Impress thinks it is written in English, therefor the
spell checker doesn't work properly. Most words are shown as
wrong spelled.
3. Tools - Options - Language: Everything is set to Swedish,
which is what I want.
4. Format - Characters - Font - Language shows English for all
text in all text boxes. I want this to be set to Swedish. I have
already set it to Swedish in a few text boxes, and those boxes
now work the way I want them to, but there are SO many more text
boxes to work with.
5. I can't highlight all text of the file at the same time, as
far as I know, since the text is located in many small text boxes.
So the question is:
How can I change Format - Characters - Font - Language for every
single character in the file with as few steps as possible?
Hi Johnny,
If you have a look in the Styles and Formatting window (F11) you
will probably find that most of the text is of the same style such
as "Default" or "Text Body" styles. Modify the appropriate style
to change the language and all the text should change then.
Regards
Jonathon
I did that and they are now all set to Swedish. Still, when I
highlight the text, Format - Characters - Font - Language is set to
English.
Hi Johnny,
I am afraid this is what happens with "hard formatting" of the text
instead of the proper use of styles. I am afraid you may have to go
through it by hand and do it all manually because of this formatting.
Regards
Jonathon
