I just did a complete cleaning and re-installation of LibreOffice on my 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I now have LibreOffice Version 4.0.3.3 (Build ID: 0eaa50a932c8f2199a615e1eb30f7ac74279539) installed.
I was attempting to explore the grammar checking feature - using either F7 or "Tools | Spelling and Grammar ..." but have been unable to get it to do anything. My sample was a new blank document in which I typed "the boyz is good." The auto-correction capitalized the initial "T", and the spell checker flagged "boyz," but there was no indication at all about a problem with "boys is," even after re-running F7 once the spelling of "boys" had been corrected. Under Tools | Language Settings | Writing Aids - Available Language Modules, "LightProof Language Checker" is checked. Under Tools | Language Settings | Writing Aids - Options, "Check grammar as you type" is checked. In the Tools | Language Tool | Configuration dialog, I took one of the checked examples of what the tool checks and used it in the document, as follows: I typed in "Is this a know problem?" According to the rule, this should be corrected or flagged to be "Is this a known problem?" Instead, it suggested the following: "Is these a know problem?" This, of course, would add an additional error to the sentence. I suppose I could just assume that it knows I'm perfect, and just wants to help me appear more human, but I suspect it's more likely that I'm either missing something somewhere. Can anyone spot what I'm doing wrong? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Grammar-Checking-in-Writer-tp4056732.html Sent from the Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
