Re: [libreoffice-users] Impress Text Toolbar

Hi Philip,

I have just been reminded that under "Tools -> Options -> Languages" the
"Asian" checkbox needs to be set. You can leave the drop-down list set
to "None". Not sure if a LO restart is necessary, but it can' do any harm.

This works for The TDF distributed edition for Linux, but I cannot say
if it works for any distro provided edition.

Regards
Dave
