I am using Ubuntu 7.10 with OpenOffice 2.3. There is no fault of mine
because I have not tampered with any settings. It is exactly as it was
installed. Someone suggested right clicking and selecting Edit Paragraph
Style and then the tab Font, and seeing what language was selected.
Here's a question... if the languages are not available, why the
"genius" inclusion of them? It should be programmed to only include
those languages that are available. Or at the very least, be
intelligently programmed that, if a language is not available, to
default to one that is.
When I install Windows, the selections are made for Canada. When I
install Word, it is set to the default American spelling. So is OOo for
Windows. When I install Linux, the selections are made for Canada. OOo
Writer defaults to your selection for the OS, which again is not my
fault of "messing with settings." If it does not exist, it should
default to something that does. If English (CA) does not exist, it
should default to the equivalent English (UK). But this suggestion did
remedy the problem. So thank you.

I have Ubuntu Studio 7.10 and OpenOffice 2.3 (the one that came
with Ubuntu) and I just tried the spell checking with the words
being and bieng, Bieng was underlined and being was not, just as
it should be. Maybe you are doing something wrong? The
text language was set to English (US).
Please answer to the list only.
I mean: Please reply to the list only... Sorry for bad English.

OpenOffice.org has a flaw in its Linux version that you may
want to
remedy quickly. When I use OpenOffice.org on Windows, the auto
spell-checker and the spell-checker work perfectly fine. They
do not
work, however, on Linux. I am using Ubuntu with version 2.3 of
OOo. I
deliberately spell words wrong, and they are not underlined
(which the
function is turned on), and the spell-checker tells me my
document is
complete without any problems. I deliberately spelled "being"
as "bieng"
and it did not underline it. I ran spell-checker, and it told
me my
document was perfect. This needs addressed quickly, for even
the most
gifted at the English language can still make a mistake or two
in their
typing or writing, and if the program doesn't identify it, it
will go
unnoticed.
