Does OpenOffice also switch the language to German if you switch the language with RightShift (i.e. is the text correctly spell checked and hyphenated)? > - Also, last but not least (I know, it's another thing), I would like to > fill the title, author, subject, etc. for a greek document with greek > words and having it in place in the produced pdf.

Sure there's a default language for a document (it is set in preferences, and then, in Document > Settings), but I can#t remember anyone denying this.
