I haven't seen your problem, but the following may help you check that you have set things up right for each paragraph and piece of text. Languages in OpenOffice To obtain the relevant dictionaries, go to File -> Wizards -> Install new dictionaries and download the ones you want. To set the default language for your installation, go to Tools -> Options -> Language Settings / Languages and set the default for all your documents. If there is a dictionary for your selection, there will be a tick mark against it. It is important to remember that language is an attribute of the text of a document, and can be set differently in different parts of the same document. This allows foreign language quotes to be separately checked against the appropriate dictionary. To set the default for a document that is different from the default setting for all other documents, when you have opened the document (or started a new one) go to the Default style and change it there. F11 (or Format -> Styles and Formatting) brings up the style list. Right click on Default (or the root style for your document) go to Modify -> Font tab where you can set the language for this style and will be carried down to other styles derived from it unless otherwise changed. To change the language for a piece of text, highlight the text and go to Format -> Character -> Font tab (or right click -> Character -> Font) where you can set the language for just that portion of text. -- Andy Pepperdine On this mailing list help is provided by volunteers.
