Is there a way to clean that up at my end? Or do you have an app or extension to correct It? I assume that your problem is with spell checking within Writer. Do you have spell checking working? Do you have the correct dictionary installed (i.e., for one of the more than 20 available variants of English) and the correct language setting in the document? - Robert - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
Font query.
Hi, my name is Chris, an authoring hopeful. And currently I am in the midst of writing a book, a fantasy horror, the only problem is that I want to be able to write particular parts of it in Elven languages such as Tengwar, Quenyar and Sindirin. I cannot find any sources to help me along with this, so would it be possible to make the fonts available for budding authors such as myself? Yours sincerely, Chris.
Re: Font query.
Try downloading and installing the font you need, any font on your computer will be accessible in open office. fontspace.com/category/elven Shari On 8/5/2018 12:27 PM, Chris Howard wrote: Hi, my name is Chris, an authoring hopeful.

You also need to create a paragraph style for each language. In each of these styles, select the font that you want to use for that language. (I am assuming that any given paragraph contains only a single language.) Any time you are changing languages between paragraphs, make sure you assign the proper style for the new paragraph: click the new paragraph and then double click the style for the language you will be using in it. If you are not acquainted with styles, you need to learn how to use them. There should be a Writer Guide for this very purpose.
