Spell checker problem - Default language doesn't stick

Postby brucewol ยป Sat Feb 18, 2017 7:46 pm
I've read numerous posts for spell checker and tried numerous solutions.
Finally I uninstalled, reinstalled and deleted my user profile. I reinstalled
with 4.1.3 and also installed the English language pack. I am still unable to
get the spell checker to work initally on a new document and I think the reason
for this is there is no default language for the document. The workaround is to
use tools/language/for all text and select English USA.

Then I close the document and open a new document. Then go to
tools/options/language settings/language and the default language is german. i
set this to English USA and select okay. Then I close the document, open a new
document and the default language has been set back to German.

So how do I set the default language from German to English USA and get it to
stay for any future new documents that I create. I am using windows explorer
new option to create a new opendocument text in the folder where i want it to
reside?

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE NEWEST VERION OF OPEN OFFICE CONTAINING THIS BAD BUG WAS
AUTOMATICALLY INSTALLED ON MY COMPUTER. THIS MEANS NOW THAT I NEED TO BUY A
SHIT MICROSOFT WORD FOR WINDOWS UNTIL APACHE FIXES THE BUG IN ORDER TO BE ABLE
TO WRITE ENGLISH TEXTS WITH A SWISS FRENCH OR GERMAN KEYBOARD (I CANNOT NOT USE
US OR UK ENGLISH KEYBOARDS BECAUSE THE LETTERS/KEYS ARE DIFFERENT).

THE PREVIOUS VERSION OF OPEN OFFICE WORKED PERFECTLY WELL. PLEASE DO NOT
UPGRADE VERSION THAT WORK. IT IS JUST WASTING VERY MUCH TIME FOR EVERYBODY.
