From: conrad on 22 Sep 2005 16:23 Hi Maybe this is the wrong place to address this question. But it is the first place that springs to mind in the hope that there are some german-speaking users here; Who might be able to tell me how i could either get OOo or Abiword to type german script for me. I need the umlauts and the double ss (szet?) I set both writers to german but they don't translate into german script Sorry, if this is an out-of-place thread. Perhaps you can redirect me Many many thanks, conrad

However, i thought i should be able to write in german script using openoffice or indeed abiword without configuring the whole desktop to german aswell? How will that help with the internal environment of OOo or Abiword, which i thought is separate? regards, conrad
