Mark,

There's some dictionaries you've got to include to allow for the spell
check to work in OO.o... From memory, try:

# emerge -DNuva aspell-en
# emerge -DNuva hunspell

I'm sure there's more to include, but I can't remember them. Don't
forget to restart OO.o to pick up the new dictionaries...

To see all the available dictionaries, try:

# emerge -s spell

HTH,

...Ric

Hi,
   On my dad's machine - 350 miles remote from me - he reports that
spell checking has ceased to work. In Evolution the option to check is
grey'ed out. In Open Office he says it acts like it's spell checking
but isn't doing anything and completes with spelling mistakes.

   I took a quick look in the forums but didn't spot anything very
similar. Since this is OO-bin it's not like I do anything to add spell
checking with USE flags.

   The environment is Gnome. The problem has been around in Evolution
for awhile (since before his gcc-4.1.1. upgrade of last week) but is
apparently new Open Office or at least this is the first I've heard
about it.

   Is spell checking something that is provided by Gnome or is it
driven by each application?

   Any config options I should go looking for?

Thanks in advance,
Mark
