• The Options dialog box of the Spelling tool has a number of
different options such as whether to check uppercase words and
words with numbers. Here you can also manage custom
dictionaries, that is, add or delete dictionaries and add or delete
words in a dictionary.
Using language tools
OOo provides some tools that make your work easier if you mix
multiple languages within the same document or write documents in
various languages.
You can set the language for the whole document, individual
paragraphs, or even individual words and characters. In versions
earlier than OOo 3.0 it was necessary to use styles in order to insert
within a document paragraphs or individual groups of characters that
use a different language, while now this can be conveniently done from
the main menu.
Tip
Using character and paragraph styles is still the preferred
method, as styles allow a greater level of control and make
changing language much faster. See Chapter 7 (Working with
Styles) for information on how to manage the language
settings of a style.
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.
The language tools can be found in Tools > Languages on the main
menu, as shown in Figure 76.
