------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Sep 28 13:42:07 +0000 2008 ------- I was surprised, when I tried Open Office, to discover that American quotation marks are transformed into French quotation marks (unbreakable space included) but that no unbreakable space is inserted before double/high punctuation. I was surprised, in part because I have been using Microsoft Word for years and never had to think about it (and because Open Office presents itself as a functional alternative to Microsoft Office), and in part because the French Ministry of Culture recently switched its thousands of computers from Microsoft Office to Open Office (which seems to be something rather significant, in regards to Open Office's official recognition as a better alternative to Microsoft Office). I know there's a patch that allows for unbreakable spaces to be inserted automatically, but that works clumsily with texts that mix French and English (which may seldom be an issue for most American users, but is not an infrequent one for many a French user). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
