If not, and you also get this error by creating the documents using the File - New menu in OpenOffice, this can be a known bug with the English dictionaries; copy and paste from Bug 119302 dictionaries are extensions, so go to the menu "Tools" - "Extension Manager..." This will open a new window with the "Extension Manager". Select an extension from the list, and you'll see a button "Disable" and another one "Remove". Removing some extensions may require you have administrative privileges in your computer, so better try to disable the extensions by pressing the "Disable" button. Disable all English dictionary extensions, leaving only the one you can see in the screen shot: it says "English spelling and hyphenation dictionaries and thesaurus 2010.03.16" You must restart Apache OpenOffice (close also the Quickstarter icon on the system tray), and spelling should work. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
