I have two computers: a laptop and a "floortop". Both run Win XP Pro with all the trimmings.
The laptop has OOo 2.0.4. The floortop has 2.1 On both systems I run Writer (creating a blank document) and do Tools>Options>Language Settings>Languages and then set the Default language for documents to UK English. I then click OK and close Writer saying Discard when asked if I want to keep the blank document which has now changed. When I restart Writer, in 2.0.4 the default language has changed. In 2.1 it has *not*. There does not seem to be any way to have OOo 2.1 remember the default language. The same happens if I try any language. OOo 2.1 always reverts to US English; 2.0.4 remembers what it has been told. I am *not* running Quickstarter on either system. I have the UK English dictionary properly installed on both systems. I have the "Check in all languages" box *unchecked* on both systems (Tools>Options>Language Settings>Writing Aids) so OOo should only do spell checking in a single language. Am I going mad? Can 2.1 really be so fundamentally broken? Harold Fuchs London, England
