------- Additional comments from cba...@openoffice.org Fri Feb 6 16:34:39 +0000 2009 ------- ## Select all (CTRL_A) then open ther 'Format/Character' dialog and in the font ## tab page you can then set the language for the text. This seems to be the best working maner, but not the most obvious and any way doesn't apply to the legend of figures and tables. ## - Open 'Tools/Options - Language Settings - Languages' select the language(s) ## you like AND don't forget to check the box 'for the current document only' This doesn't force the whole document to switch from a language to an other, as mentionned in the following documentation (and tested previously to the post) : http://plan-b-for-openoffice.org/ooo-help/r2.1/en-US/WIN/shared/guide/language_select ## In the Writer application there are other options as well. Depending if and ## how you are using styles or hard-coded attributes you can do the following: ## - You can change the language of the styles that you are using. Often enough ## just changing the language of the default paragraph style will do. I can understand the logic but I was asking any word in the document to switch to the language I want, this can't rely on an "often enough". ## - You can use 'Tools/Language/For all text' This doesn't work, it isn't a defect, it is implented to respect language settings of a particular paragraph, please see ahead. For information, I'm a regular, professional and perserverant user of OOo for 5 years (I'm ending a PhD) I'm really glad to see it's evolution but if I allow myself to suggest such an issue it's that the language problem is a persistent one and I think this particular issue can be of use, especially when a document go by different computer and often bring with it a lot a heterogeneity of languages that cannot be seen at the first look. Thanks for all your advices. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
