[Solved] Language Not Set for Newly Created Document
Posted: Tue Feb 21, 2012 9:29 pm
Hi,
I have been using OO on Windows XP for a number of years (curently on 3.3.0), and I thought this problem had been fixed a few versions ago. Anyway, my problem is that when I create a new OO text document via Windows Explorer (right click in a folder, select New->OpenDocument Text), there is no language set for the document when I open it - I have to manually set it each time using the 3rd segment along (after "Page 1/1" segment, and then "Default" = page style segment) on the status bar which is always defaulted to "[None]".
Also, when I install OO (fresh install on a fresh Windows install), at the end of the install I go to ->Start->Programs->OpenOffice.org 3.3->OpenOffice.org, click on Text Document and go to ->Tools->Options->Language Settings->Languages to check that "Default language for documents - Western" is set to "English (UK)", but then, after creating a new document via Windows Explorer as above, opening that document and going to ->Tools->Options->Language Settings->Languages I find that "Default language for documents - Western" is now set to "German (Germany)"!
Basically, I want any new document created to default its language to "English (UK)" - how do I do that, and is what I have described above a bug or bugs?
Thanks,
Alex
