Re: [libreoffice-users] Dictionaries installed but not available

Thanks, I got it working, but I'm still puzzled by something...

in >tools>language a selection for Dutch now shows up, but... I can set  
the language only 'for selection' and not either 'for paragraph' or 'for  
all text' --- or is it that I can do it, but the checkmark (v) does not  
show?

not sure what the problem is... and yes I was aware that language is  
defined at the character level, but it should somehow be possible to  
define the language for a whole doc at once.
