I was slightly puzzled today when the autocorrect stuff I'd set up to use with a document I was working on yesterday ceased to work when I reopened the document this morning.
After investigation I find the characters now have English (USA) not (UK) as their language attribute. So of course, the (UK) autocorrect stuff isn't being applied to them. Yet is /was/ working yesterday - so the characters' associated language appears to have changed since then. I checked under tools | options for document default language - this is now English (USA) - I'm 99.9999% sure it used to be (UK). Anyway, I changed it back to English (UK). Exited OOo, reopened my offending document, back to the language options -- just one of those 'gut feelings': lo and behold, it's back to English (USA). It turns out that if I open this document, the Tools|options menu shows USA as the default document language; if I use the quickstarter to create a new text document, the default language option is set to UK english. I thought the options were global for a given user? And how could things have changed since yesterday? Oh, and I've now changed the document's characters' attribute to UK english, also changed the default language option and saved the document - exit and reopen, and all /seems/ well. However if I open instead a saved copy of the 'USA' version, I'm still back to the options showing USA as the default.
