Bonjour Did you chose French as default language - or do you use styles and templates that indicate French as the used language? Tools > Options > Language settings > Language > Standard Language for Docs > Western If OOo has the dictionary installed for a certain language, a abcV sign appears next to the name of the language in the list here, and also in the list that appears here: Format > Character > Font type > Language As you can see here, language is linked to character in OpenOffice.org. The best way to be sure your docs will be spelling checked, is to specify the language in the template (or style) you use. Good luck -- Guy Simon,
Please reply to the list, so other users may read this and try to help too. See this elements from previous threads about dictionaries (1) Tutorial for Spell check and Language configuration http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=50862 (2) [Tuto] Correcteur d'orthographe http://www.forum-openoffice.org/forum/ftopic2831.html 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. If you set up your styles for a language in an empty document and then save it as a template (File -> Templates -> Save), then you can select the appropriate one to start a new document with File -> New -> Templates and Documents -- Andy Pepperdine **additional remark: you may need to close/reopen Quickstart before changes will work if your system uses QS...** -- Guy using dutch OOo 2.2 RC 4 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and dutch OOo 2.2 RC 4 on a G4 PPC Powerbook Tiger -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
