There were two version of LO for Windows, but not there is only one.It is better this way, since it could have caused confusion about which version do you need to download and install.
Yes, the custom install will give you the languages you want. You will also need to go to the dictionary section to make sure you install only the ones you want, instead of it installing 5 or 10 other language dictionaries.
I remember the first time I used the "all language version" without a custom install for Windows. I got all of the different language dictionaries that was included with the install file.
It would be nice to have some "Custom" install option for Linux. Then you can install the English version without having the Spanish dictionary being installed and locked. Will I not get Spanish dictionary when I install the Spanish language pack? Why force it on the English Only user who does not want to install any Spanish options? Sometimes Windows is easier to deal with for software installs. Linux does have it perks though.
---------------It would be nice to have English-only de the default, with the other languages, like Spanish, be added as you want it, not at the install time. IT is hard to disable dictionaries that are installed and locked. When you want to use different versions of the dictionaries, than the locked installed version, it is an issue. My English dictionaries are a case in point. Both my dictionary[s] and the locked one is being used. When you go to the Thesaurus option, my word options are listed, then the locked English dictionary word options are listed. Is assume that when you do the spell checking you spell check with both English dictionaries. What happens when there are different hyphenation instructions in the two English dictionaries? Will it use the first one it comes to, the second one, or try to use both?

I've had problems with getting proper positioning of images in a document with multiple columns. I move things just a little, and the image may jump to some crazy place, e.g., swapping places with a line or covering up a footnote or jumping to a different column, etc . I tried using a frame but found that the frame was too big and covered up some of my footnotes. I'm using LibreOffice 3.4.3 under Windows 7.Spencerp.s. I tried installing LibreOffice 3.4.4 but couldn't remember how to do it with multiple language support, so I sent a question to this list on that.On 11/29/2011 1:37 PM, Tom Davies wrote:Hi :) I think it might be worth posting a bug-report about this issue http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport Regards from Tom :) --- On Tue, 29/11/11, James Finnall<James@Finnall.net> wrote:From: James Finnall<James@Finnall.net> Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Replacing graphic images in documents To: users@global.libreoffice.org Date: Tuesday, 29 November, 2011, 21:31 On 11/29/2011 03:20 PM, Cor Nouws wrote:Hi James, James Finnall wrote (29-11-11 15:48)For years with OpenOffice I was able to use adocument as template toprint my photos on 8 1/2"x11" photo paper byreloading the document andsimply replacing the images. I think it was UBuntu version 11 that changed meover to LibreOffice.Argh, nasty situation. I remember a quite extensive discussion inOpenOffice.org some year or so ago (don't over-ask my memory) where the behaviour was discussed what to do when an image is selected and a new image is inserted. And that in Writer, Impress/Draw, Calc.And indeed, it was about: should a newly insertedimage replace the selected one or be added alongside.So no doubt, that the change you experience is aresult of what has been discussed then.I think, without real code work, there is littlerelief for you...But maybe the behaviour in Draw is different (I'mafraid not...)Hmm, it would not be too difficult to write a macro todo the changes for you. Maybe that's an idea?Kind regards,So it sounds like their discussion ended with "Just don't do anything!" It has been awhile since I had to print any photos, but it seemed to me that I would select the old image and "Insert->Picture-> From File" on the menu and then select the new image file to use. It would then replace the image with the new image. When doing repeat operations of even small images, I could do the first image and resize, etc then copy/paste as many as needed andlocate on paper. Then load a new image into each one. But I have not been able to replace any images sinceLibreOffice installation. (LibreOffice Version 3.4.4 with Ubuntu 11.10) It is difficult for me to believe I am the only one that desires this operation. Thank you for your response.
