An alternative idea is to use the spellchecker as it is and instead of
having it enter the correct spelling, type it oneself. I do that and it
works... :)

check her spelling if this was there?
No we don't need this...

2008/1/16, Eric Jackson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I have had an idea in my head for a good spell checking feature, but
since
I'm not a programmer, there is little I can do with it. Basically
instead
of
the spell checker correcting the spelling, the spell checker would show
the
correct spelling of the word and have the user type it in correctly a
predefined number of times before moving on. This would obviously be
annoying if one was in a hurry so it would be an optional feature that
could
be easily disabled at any time, but it would be great for developing
spelling skills.

Ha ha... I'd love that... for everyone else... I can only speak for
myself,
but I think I know the spelling of most of the words I write,
especially in
my own language, Swedish. Still I do a lot of spelling errors, but
these are
in most cases just a result of things like hitting the wrong key and
things
like that. It would be very frustrating to spell a word maybe ten
times just
because my fingers slipped... but if the feature is possible to turn off,
why not?

How about an add-on to the current OpenOffice, called a spelling
teacher. THis add-on would do as has been suggested. I think there could
be people who need to do this, but there are many who would be too busy.
