But this is still not using the CTL facility of OOo. The "Enabled for CTL: is still greyed out (and checked), and I have not been able to find a way to switch between "Western" and CTL languages. It might help me if I knew what action _should_ toggle between the two. Since only two languages are involved, I would have expected the same behavior as that used in other OSes, namely Right<Alt+Shift> goes to CTL and Left<Alt+Shift> goes to "Western".
I asked a few people here in the office and got an answer regarding the greyed out check box. Here is Stephan's reply....
