Hi,
I'm a budding writer myself and I find your template suggestion intriguing. When (if ever!) I have something presentable I want to be able to shop essentially the same manuscript to potential buyers in Canada, the US and the UK. How would the templates help in this scenario? If I were to cut and paste text from a Canadian English document to a US or UK language template, wouldn't the paste action include the character formatting and wouldn't this override the template default?
Thanks, Dom

It is very urgent and your help would be very much appreciated!
I am a travel writer, writing my articles in English (GreatBritain). However, some of my articles have to be "americanised" and however much I try to change the language under Extra-Options-Languages etc. it always slips back to Great Britain English.
Any idea, what to do?
David,
I would like to suggest that you create templates for the languages in
which you work. Set the language for each including setting the language
via Format > Character and save as template, say mydoc_us_en. For more
information on this, please see
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/OOo1.x.x/user_guide.pdf . I
think the section is near page 30.
