Hi, Two quick questions. First is a long standing annoyance for OOo and MS Office. How on earth do I get it to correctly default to the systems locale for both the correct language and dictionary? I know if I go through tools->options->language settings I can set the default to en_GB, but the default language for the dictionary is en_US which is a bit daft IMHO. Second, I know if I type ALT + (say) 129 under MS Office I can get the German B (looks like %BETA in the formula editor). Is there anyway I can do this under OOo and then keep it as an icon on the same bar as my other fonty things? I know it can be done, but can't remember how to do it.
