Thanks, I am not on the Documentation list.

Chapter 3, Page 22-23

I missed that, but I was going through the full book of 
0200WG3-WriterGuide.odt.

What I want to describe to the IT people and the Language teachers is 
how the students can use LibreOffice to type up and spell check their 
assignments.  They may have English and Spanish/French/German, which 
ever language they are studying, in the same document.  I wanted to show 
them that they can easily do the spell checking in several languages in 
the same document.  As far as I can tell, you cannot do this in MSO.

I want the local schools to have LibreOffice as an option for their 
computers, and have the students be able to download a copy for their 
home computers.  I would love to have the language teachers tell their 
students about LibreOffice, but I need to somehow get the message to the 
students about LibreOffice as their option over having to deal with 
MSO.  How may of these students will be asking for new computers so they 
would have LibreOffice for free instead of buying a copy of MSO for that 
new computer.  It is too late to start a campaign for those students 
going to college this summer/fall.

On the page
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/LibreOffice_In_Academia
we need to get more info there about using the package for grades 7-12, 
not just college level students.  There should be more info, like the 
multi-language option for the student taking language classes.  New York 
requires two years of non-English language classes to be able to graduate.
