Please don't confuse KAMI's feature-request with the stuff described in this excerpt. Of course you can already assign different languages to different parts of your document and that language will be used for spell-checking, hyphenation and will affect things like autocorrect/autoformat (replacement of typographic quotes for example) - if you choose the language "none", no spell-checking, hyphenation is performed. But this is something fundamentally different from displaying different content depending on what language the user uses. A french version of OpenOffice.org would display something different than an english version. This could be simulated by using different sections that are hidden or shown depending on the language the user uses, but this would be a macro-based solution (either by letting the user choose, or by assigning the macro to the "open document" action) - but this of course requires the user to have macros enabled.... All in all, I don't quite see the usefulness of a feature that displays different content depending on the language of the surrounding application, but maybe there is a need I just don't see. Also I don't see why a style should be language-dependent, but chances are good, that I just don't understand what is meant with that. (As I understand it, it would be the opposite compared to how OOo now works. "The style determines the language that is assigned to the text" and not "the language of the text determines how it is formatted") ciao Christian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
