I don't know what version of OOo you are using and I don't run it on Gentoo now so I don't know if there is anything special, but AFAIK you have to *install* the dictonaries from inside OpenOffice.

Re: [gentoo-user] How to get OpenOffice spell checker to work?
The gentoo build removes the wizard and uses hunspell instead. My personal view is these suck big time and I would rather have the proper OO ones for en_AU. What happened to the policy of not mucking with upstream if at all possible?

Re: [gentoo-user] How to get OpenOffice spell checker to work?
I have run it at times in the past - built in place OO has its problems, but overall its more stable and faster than then the binaries. Its also been a couple of years since my last try so I might have another look at it.

Thierry I compile my OO and I didn't do anything inside OO for my spell checker to work. I also have not had to modify any files either. I can't recall ever having to do anything like that even back when I was on Mandrake many years ago. Just a thought. Dale :-) :-)

I've read a while ago that the source compile of open office uses go-oo while the binary installation is the official OpenOffice (http://www.linux.com/feature/143570 - read the comments). quote Posted by: Anonymous [ip: 83.18.171.115] on August 08, 2008 09:11 AM actually, installing openoffice from source has a advantage - source package is from go-oo.org and binary is straight from openoffice.org. and they are way different - the one from go-oo.org has tons of patches which add extra features. /quote Regards Dirk
[gentoo-user] How to get OpenOffice spell checker to work?
eselect oodict list says that myspell is selected as the dictionaries. I've got myspell-en installed. I've set the document language to English-US. But spell checking still doesn't do anything. I've also got aspell-en and hunspell-en installed. I'm running app-office/openoffice-2.4.1 (built from sources), but I notice that the USE flags didn't include -en or -en_US. Is that the problem? OOo takes ages to build, so I don't want to rebuild it unless there's a decent chance it'll actually fix the problem... -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! You were s'posed at to laugh! visi.com
