It is a nuisance, but there are some work-arounds. First, you can very easily have two documents open at once, each using different languages, and different spell checkers. What language a document uses is set as a formatting property -- modify the text style so that on the "font" tab it choses the language you want. So that gives you a different language for each document. And both can, obviously, be open simultaneously. I've got four OOo documents open as I write this. The trouble is that they are all in separate windows. Getting them to appear side by side, as you can in Word, is annoying. I have no idea how to do it on Linux -- it would vary by desktop. On Windows, the easiest way is to minimise all the windows to the task bar, then expand thetwo windows you want to work with. Right click *on the task bar* and choose "Tile Windows Vertically" (whatever that may be in Hungarian) and then you will have the two docs side by side. If you then set each one to "Web view", the result is still not as good as the split screen in Word 97. But it's not bad, and perhaps close enough to satisfy you. > Obviously, this procedure requires to use two languages > at the same time. > > In OpenOfficeOrg writer this can not be done, since there > is no facility to split the text field, nor to load in two different > files at the same time, nor to use different language spelling > checkers in the same OpenOfficeOrg writer, because of only > one language version can be installed into the same machine. > -- Andrew Brown The email in the header does not work.
