The main advantage of changing the language is that you can then use
the correct dictionaries to check spelling and apply the localized
versions of Autocorrect replacement tables, thesaurus, and
hyphenation rules.
You can also set the language for a paragraph or a group of characters
as None. This option is especially useful when you insert text such as
web addresses or programming language snippets that you do not
want to check for spelling.
Specifying the language in character and paragraph styles is the
preferred method, because styles allow a greater level of control and
make changing the language much faster. On the Font tab of the
Paragraph Styles dialog, you can specify that certain paragraphs be
checked in a language that is different from the language of the rest of
the document. See Chapter 7 (Working with Styles) for information on
how to manage the language settings of a style.
However, starting with OpenOffice.org 3.0, you can set the language
for the whole document, for individual paragraphs, or even for
individual words and characters, all from Tools > Language on the
menu bar.
Another way to change the language of a whole document is to use
Tools > Options > Language Settings > Languages. In the Default
languages for documents section of the Options dialog, you can choose
a different language for all the text.
The spelling checker works only for those languages in the list that
have the symbol next to them. If you do not see the symbol next to
your preferred language, you can install the additional dictionary using
Tools > Languages > More dictionaries online.
The language used for checking spelling is also shown in the status
bar, next to the page style in use.
You can also configure the language for a paragraph or a group of
characters as None. This option is particularly useful in the case
where you insert in the document text that you do not want to
spellcheck, such as web addresses or programming language snippets.
Using AutoCorrect
Writer’s AutoCorrect function has a long list of common misspellings
and typing errors, which it corrects automatically. For example, “hte”
will be changed to “the”.
