a) Install the appropriate dictionaries, theasuri, and hyphenation dictionaries. ">File >Wizards >Install new dictionaries" should bring up the tool for installing dictionaries. * This tool will automatically check to see if it is the most current version. If it is not, then it will ask if you want to update to the current version. * The user interface for version 1.7 is in 27 languages; * It lists roughly 120 dictionaries for spell checking; ** There are some ---probably less than a dozen --- dictioinaries for OOo that are not listed in this tool. For the most part, the unlisted dictioanries are very new, very specialized, or very large. * Only install dictionaries etc that you use, and need. OOo performance can be severely degraded if too many dictionaries, etc are installed. [My experience is that performance degradation is noticable at around 5 dictionaries, and is complete at around 100 dictionaries. The amount of RAM, and your chip speed will affect the performance degradation.] b) Create and use language specific styles; * For each language, you need to create a set of styles. When you write, use those styles. This way spell checking will be correctly done. With language specific styles, grammar checking can be transparently done. Obsolete stuff: * DictInstall is obsolete, and works only on windows.
