If you mean a French dictionary to allow you to spell check a French document then install it using File>Wizards>Install New Dictionary. Once the dictionary is installed you can set it as the default for your documents in Tools>Options>Language Settings>Languages>Default Language for Documents. If you want only "this" document in French, tick the "For the current document only" box. If you want multi-lingual documents, say part French, part English, part German then (a) you need to install all the relevant dictionaries and (b) you can either work word by word or paragraph by paragraph - see the Help under "languages;recognition of" or you can create styles for each language. This is the best way if you plan to write lots of multi-lingual documents because, having created a set of styles you can save them in a template. For lots more about styles, see the Help within Writer under "styles" and also chapters 6 and 7 of the Writer Guide at http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/index.html If you mean something else, please tell us what. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected]
