Hi,

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?
I don't see any problem here on the Mac. I know that are currently a
number of issues with the en-GB language packs/installs.

I have the US build installed plus a number of dictionaries but *no*
language packs.
