Invalid object reference." I was using vanilla LibreOffice 4.3.3.2. My macro shorn of superfluous comments read: sub Tai_Lue3 dim dispatcher as object ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame dispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper") ' dim args1(0) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue ' dim args1(0) as new css::lang::Locale ' dim args1(0) as new com::sun::star::lang::Locale dim args1(0) as new com::sun::star::lang::locale args1(0).Language ="qlt" args1(0).Variant ="khb-CN" dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:Language", "", 0, args1()) end sub The macro recorded from using the combobox just records the LCID generated on the fly, which is not much use.

I don't see > the problem. I am having great difficulty seeing why one should want to specify the script for a barely supported writing system, let alone the class of script. My thought was that the language code would suffice. The script is generally implicit in the text. As far as text properties are concerned, the class of script would be implicit in the box in which the language name was entered.
