Some questions:
Which dictionary does not work? What language and country? AOO has several
dictionaries.
When you open writer, is the icon containing an ABC with a wavy line below
the letters highlighted?
If you have some misspelled words in a document, what happens if you click
this icon?
What happens if you click it again?
Tools > Options > Language Settings > Writing Aids. What is listed as the
language modules?
What is listed in the user-defined dictionaries?
What is checked in the Options list?
Right click a work in an open document. Select Character from the context menu. What do you see in the
box under Language? Does it have an ABC and check?

Good Morning Group,
Dan: My OS is WIN7x64 on a 64 bit computer. I have only one dictionary and I
also took the list's advice
then and now.
Rob: Thank You. I have reinstalled version 3.4.0 and wait for the "real"
upgrade. By the way, Pre-Release
3.4.1 did fix the oddball Quicksart loading of AOO's main screen. The
dictionary still not working even in
3.4.0. But it had been, before I erroneously installed 3.4.1.
My rant is still valid.
Take Care. Scooter College Park, MD USA

I upgraded to AOO 3.4.1 today and the dictionary is no longer working.
We have not release AOO 3.4.1 yet. Are you sure you don't have 3.4.0
installed? If you installed the
pre-release, test version of AOO 3.4.1, then some bugs are expected. The
purpose of the test release
is to find these bugs.

Sorry, I seem to have missed this point. I'm not sure about Scooter's OS. I
also have AOO 3.4.1 on my
computer (Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit). My dictionary works. I think I may know why.
When using AOO 3.4.0, there
was a problem with some of the English dictionary extensions conflicting with
each other. On the advice
of this list, I disabled all English dictionary extensions except for the
American English which I use. I
think that problem was a failure of the thesaurus working. I installed 3.4.1
over 3.4.0. Checking just
now, I noticed that the same extensions were disabled as were when I had 3.4.0
installed. I don't know if
the earlier problem has been fixed or not, but it may be Scooter's problem.
