Thank you > > > Loving Christ, Renee > OpenOffice and most (all?) other word-processors do not handle translation directly. You need to Copy and Paste your text from OpenOffice into a translation application, such as Google Translate or Promt (in chunks of about 1000 words - depending on the requirements of the translation application); when that has translated it into your target language Copy and Paste into a new OpenOffice document. You will have to check the formatting, and also check the translation, as all translations are imperfect. If you do not speak Spanish, do not send the un-revised translation out - send the text in English and let the recipients translate it themselves. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
