riorama Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Greetings... Ive been attempting to use openoffice for a word processor, and need to write some college papers in another language (spanish). The computers at school offer the ability to autocompete/correct sdd the little marks above the letters, etc on the fly to the text I'm writing in spanish. How in the world do I get open office to do this? Ive tried to download another dictionary, and install it, but open office and kword both still wont see ispell. Any hints? Maybe another program?

Steve Scrimpshire Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Just a wild guess...maybe you have to install OpenOffice.org-l10n-es and/or myspell-es Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riorama Posted October 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Ok , on double check I find installed aspell-es koffice-i18n-es locales-es myspell-ES-es myspell-GL-es openoffice.org-l10n-es Do you think there could be confilict, is something missing from the list, or am I just not configuring the programs correctly?

kilimanjaro Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 Hi Kenny Hows married life treating you? Maybe you could upgrade to OpenOffice 1.1 and try downloading all the extra libraries, c'mon, I mean even I'm using 1.1. Join the 21st. century OpenOffice1.0 is so1900's.. Everybody is doing it, c'mon the first one is free, all of the cool kids are doing it. I fact maybe you should upgrade to mandrake 9.2 ( I won't tell everybody that you are still using 9.0) kilimanjaro p.s. did you get the cd with the wedding pictures from Zac?

kilimanjaro Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 Actually Ken OpenOffice 1.1 if you go to insert and then to the heading special characters it has all of the symbols for writing spanish, I have both 1.0 and 1.1 and 1.0 doesn't have the same symbols. it has about 1/4 of the characters that 1.1 has. áâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðà it has these and much more. kilimanjaro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derxen Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 What helps is if you set the keyboard in the Mandrake Control Center to middle european or something like that. Then for instance if you do " + e you get an e with two dots over it. Experiment a bit with the various keyboard settings in MCC. derxen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
