--- Comment #15 from Ariel Constenla-Haile <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #14) > I downloaded the program as an "update" from my old version of OO. Within > minutes I had gone from a perfectly working copy of software with full > dictionary and thesaurus support to this new, improved version with zero > spell check capability and no thesaurus. I understand this is rather frustrating, but the spell check capability is present, it happens that you don't have any dictionary extension installed. > What I would really like is to have my 'old' version back and trash the new > and improved Apache version. You will have to remove this version, and install the older back. I'd suggest you also remove your user profile. > As for not having any dictionaries selected? > Three of the four are selected at Options > Languages > Writing Aids > > User-Defined Dictionaries. The User-Defined Dictionaries will not work for Thesaurus/Spell checking, you need to install dictionary extensions. The fact that you don't have any dictionary extension at all shows something went wrong during the installation, because AOO 3.4.0 installs 4 English dictionary extensions. If your installation isn't completely broken, the solution may be as simple as installing any extension: - download the English dictionary extension: http://numbertext.org/tmp/dict-en.oxt - Go to the menu "Tools" - "Extension Manager..." - In the Extension Manager press the button "Add...", a file dialog will show up - in the file dialog, browse to the folder where you stored the extension, and select the dictionary extension - the installation of the extension will start - close OpenOffice (including the Quickstarter icon on the system tray) - Start OpenOffice again, spell checking and thesaurus should work -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
