Open Office 1.1.5
Windows 98 (Build 1998)
It seems like the soft "-" (Ctrl+-) does not work in text boxes. How do I
get around this? I really need it!
I can think of at least one "workaround", and that would be if it was
possible to edit the hyphenation dictionary or whatever it is called
(sorry for my really bad English), but I couldn't find a way to do this.
The reason I write this is that I was entering some text in a rectangle in
OOo Draw (I am going to do a lot of graphical stuff later in that file,
that's why I use Draw for this particular job) and then I found that I
needed to use the Tools -> Hyphenate, so I did. Now I found that a
particular word was not hyphenated (I write in Swedish), but I think it
should. So I thouoght that I could just place the cursor in that word and
press Ctrl+- to insert an unvisible "-", but that didn't work! It works
when I write normal text in Writer and since I think that OOP is used when
programming OpenOffice I think it's a bit strange that the same tools show
up differently in differnt applications. I think that as long as I write
text, it should not matter WHERE I do it. As plain Writer text or in text
boxes, it should act the same all the time.
So, what I really want to ask is this:
1. Is there a workaround for this problem in 1.1.5?
2. Can I edit the hyph_sv_SE.dic file? If yes, how?
3. I read something about that I could use "=" in the dictionary to tell
the hyphenator where to hyphenate, so I tried it on one word. I replaced
the word "popmusikproducent" by "pop=mu=sik=pro=du=cent". This seems to
work, BUT now the word "popmusikproducent" are shown as wrong spelled..!
So, do I need both lines in the dictionary?
4. Let's say that I write some text and the hyphenator is turned on. When
I read it I find that a word is NOT hyphenated when it should. What is the
easiest way to make it do so AND make it remember this for the future? I
am still talking about entering text into rectangles and other kinds of
text boxes.
Using Open Office 2.0 is not an option; 1.1.5 is slow enough for me on my
old PC. I have tried 2.0 so I am not guessing here. It was a real pain.
