I think that you had not noticed that menu item, and now that you have found it the problems are solved. If you want full compatibility with .doc, then you had better continue with MS, as only they have the full specifications; everyone else is reverse-engineering, which is another name for guesswork. But in practice I want to congratulate the team on doing a phenomenal job under the circumstances. I get no more than one .doc file per year that needs remedial work on it. And I've heard of no issues going from OOo to Word in what I've written. But in case I'm wrong about your comment, here is my brief guide to Languages in OpenOffice To obtain the relevant dictionaries, go to File -> Wizards -> Install new dictionaries and download the ones you want. To set the default language for your installation, go to Tools -> Options -> Language Settings / Languages and set the default for all your documents. If there is a dictionary for your selection, there will be a tick mark against it. It is important to remember that language is an attribute of the text of a document, and can be set differently in different parts of the same document. This allows foreign language quotes to be separately checked against the appropriate dictionary. To set the default for a document that is different from the default setting for all other documents, when you have opened the document (or started a new one) go to the Default style and change it there. F11 (or Format -> Styles and Formatting) brings up the style list. Right click on Default (or the root style for your document) go to Modify -> Font tab where you can set the language for this style and will be carried down to other styles derived from it unless otherwise changed. To change the language for a piece of text, highlight the text and go to Format -> Character -> Font tab (or right click -> Character -> Font) where you can set the language for just that portion of text. > > ----- Originalmeddelande ----- > Från: CPHennessy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Datum: Lördag, April 29, 2006 10:29 > Ämne: Re: [users] Cant use dictionaries - some credits though > > > On Mon April 24 2006 17:56, + Henrik Mathiesen wrote: > > > [ MODERATED ] *********************** > > > Hi! > > > > > > I'am a student from Sweden, using Open Office 2.0.2. > > > > > > I must give you some credits for the application you have done - > > > > and for > > > > > free.
