My Neowiki work is currently focused on translating French articles into English. I also volunteered to reorganize the [[NeoOffice Tips and Hints]] page.

| - | ==[[yoxi|yoxi]] Provides this tip for creating a Macro to automate the process of changing between languages:== | + | [[Template:Stub]] |
| | | | |
| - | #select some text, then click on the '''Record Macro''' button in the top buttonbar. (If there isn't one there, Click on the '''Tools''' menu choose '''Macros''' and then select '''Record Macro'''). A '''Stop Recording''' floating button will appear. | + | [[Template:TBBA Header]] |
| - | #Under the '''Format''' menu, choose '''Character''' and then choose the '''Font''' tab in the panel that comes up. In the '''Language''' dropdown, choose your first language, e.g. English (UK), and then click on '''OK'''. | + | |
| - | #Now click on the '''Stop Recording''' floater – the '''Macro''' dialog will appear. Enter a meaningful name in the '''Macro Name''' field, top left, such as LangEnUK, and click on Save. | + | |
| - | #Repeat the steps above, but choosing your second language, e.g. German (Germany), and assigning the second macro another name e.g. LangDeDE or whatever. | + | |
| - | #Now to assign the keys: Under the '''Tools''' menu choose '''Configure...''' and then click on the '''Keyboard''' tab. Scroll down to the keystroke you want to assign, e.g. Cmd-shift-G for German (I know -D makes more sense, but that's already being used – though you can overwrite this assignation if you don't need a shortcut for right-to-left typing). | + | |
| - | #In the '''Category''' panel bottom left, scroll down to '''NeoOffice BASIC''', then click on the '''+''' to open the folder, then do the same with '''Standard''' within that folder, and click on '''Module1''' within Standard. Then in the '''Function''' panel to its right, click on the macro you named, i.e. LangDeDE, then click on the '''Modify''' button above right to assign that macro to the keystroke you highlighted earlier. | + | |
| - | #Repeat the above step with the second keystroke and the second macro, and then click on '''OK'''. | + | |
| - | #'tis done! Now when you select text and do cmd-shift-G, that text will be assigned German (Germany) language - ditto with cmd-shift-E and English (UK). | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | If you use more than two languages, you could write a more sophisticated macro with a list of language codes/numbers (the OOo BASIC uses numbers for language codes), so you could hit e.g. cmd-shift-L on the selected text and just enter a language code in a popup box and it would do the rest. | + | |
