Writer Guide

Choosing options for HTML documents
You can configure OpenOffice.org to treat HTML documents in Writer
differently than regular documents.
1) If the Options dialog box is not already open, click Tools >
Options.
2) Click the + sign by OpenOffice.org Writer/Web on the left-hand
side of the Options – OpenOffice.org dialog box. A list of pages
drops down.
Here you can customize settings related to printing, formatting aids,
view options, table defaults, the grid, and a default background for
HTML documents you're working with in Writer.
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, be sure you are connected to the Internet, and
then 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 select and
install the ones you want.
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.
