One of the nice things about OOo is its international quality. Canadian nationalists seem to assume that it must be Canadian, because so many of the best bits are in French; but as far as I can tell, these contributions all come from metropolitan France. But they do things which simply can’t be found in English. Here, for instance, are a format painter, a multilingual dictionary installer, and an add-on installer which I have not tried, but which contains an instructive putton. “Zipper l’addon” it says. I never knew the language of Voltaire could do that.
While I am on the subject. I have updated the installer in my macro document so that it will work. It’s nice to be able to make an announcement so characteristic of the software industry.
