Hi :)
I thought that you could have different paragraphs (or smaller elements) set as 
a different language in Word or Writer.
Regards form
Tom :)

 Good luck and regards from

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.

I think this info, with screenshots, is in  Chapter 3, Working with Text, in 
the
Writer Guide, but I could be  misremembering the chapter. It definitely is 
in the
Writer Guide  somewhere, because I remember writing it!

Tom, I believe  he  is asking about the way to mark certain passages as one
 language or another,  which is not automatic. Once the passages are marked,  
the
spelling checker knows  which language to use and does so  automatically.

Hi :)
Does anyone happen to  know an answer for  Webmaster at KrackedPress?  I  
don't
think he is on this list but  he might be.  I  thought that it would just
happen

   automatically?

Does anyone  know where in the  documentation where the "Language>For
 Selection"

option is   explained?

I am looking to write up a  sheet that   explains spell checking a 
document
 with

English and either Spanish,  French,  or  German, text included.  I 
cannot
 find

this  info  anywhere.

I want to  use that  information as  a marketing point for the local 
school
 districts to use   LibreOffice in their computer labs for students  
working
on

papers  for  their  language classes.

I would  rather use  the text and images already created,  than making  
up
such

  information  myself.  I lost much of my writing skills  with my last   
two
strokes.  Since I use to work for one of the  local  school  districts 
before
 I

had the stroke, I know that having  such  an ability would be a  good 
feature
 to

market to the IT  people and somehow get  the information into the  hands 
of
 the

  language  teachers.

So If anyone has seen where  this  feature  is explained, I need to  
know.
