[Solved] Change language on certain columns

Post by griego62 »

I would like to know if there is any way to change the language of an individual column, while keeping the rest of the document in the set language.

I sure hope there's a solution to this!

Create a character or paragraph style, according to your needs, with the appropriate alternative language and apply to the parts of the document that need to have the second language.

Just tried to create a character style, but unfortunately, it's not even saving. When reopening the document, all characters written in Greek are converted to gibberish.

SOLVED. I was saving the document in .csv and not .odt. Saved it in the native file extension and all is fine.
