Writer Guide

Note
Many of the options available under Options – OpenOffice.org
Writer/Web are identical to the settings under Options –
OpenOffice.org Writer but will only affect HTML documents
opened in Writer. The previous sections contain detailed
discussion on these options.
Choosing language settings
You may need to do several things to set the language settings to what
you want:
• Install the required dictionaries
• Change some locale and language settings
• Choose spelling options
Install the required dictionaries
OOo3 automatically installs several dictionaries with the program. To
add other dictionaries, use Tools > Language > More Dictionaries
Online. OOo will open your default web browser to a page containing
links to additional dictionaries that you can install. Follow the prompts
to install them.
Change some locale and language settings
You can change some details of the locale and language settings that
OOo uses for all documents or for specific documents.
In the Options dialog box, click Language Settings > Languages.
Figure 48: OpenOffice.org Language Options
On the right-hand side of the Language Settings – Languages page
(Figure 49), change the User interface, Locale setting , Default
currency , and Default languages for documents as required. In the
example, English (UK) has been chosen for all the appropriate settings.
