Found the problem. When you install your OS, OOo defaults to the 
selections you made for the OS, which is rather dumb. Why? Because if 
your language selection does not exist, why default to it? It should be 
intelligently programmed to default to something that does exist, or the 
equivalent of what you have. English (CA) does not exist, but English 
(UK) and English (US) do. The equivalent would be English (UK). Better 
yet, why don't they copy the English (UK) and name is English (CA) and 
then you have both done and finished. Firefox and Thunderbird are 
default to English (US), so why not OOo? Why is it the only program that 
tries to default to your settings for the OS, especially when they don't 
exist?
