Found the problem. When you install your OS, OOo defaults to the
selections you made for the OS, which is rather dumb. Why? Because if
your language selection does not exist, why default to it? It should be
intelligently programmed to default to something that does exist, or the
equivalent of what you have. English (CA) does not exist, but English
(UK) and English (US) do. The equivalent would be English (UK). Better
yet, why don't they copy the English (UK) and name is English (CA) and
then you have both done and finished. Firefox and Thunderbird are
default to English (US), so why not OOo? Why is it the only program that
tries to default to your settings for the OS, especially when they don't
exist?
