I did place a PDF file stating that LibreOffice came out of the coding for OOo and, for now, if there is no documentation for parts of LO, you can use OOo's version to get you up to speed. I started out with LO's PDFs [or exported the .odt files to PDF] that was available, and then added a folder with the OOo documentation for parts like Calc, Draw, etc., that OOo had on their site. I got most of my clip art from Openclipart [.org?], and the templates for a wide variety of sources. One problem so far is that some of the clip are is in WMF format and my Ubuntu does not read/view it. I will be converting those files later to GIF, PNG, or JPG. If someone at the German site wants the ISO file of this DVD, I can finish it off in the next few days/weeks and place it on one of my domains and give the link so it can be downloaded at a later date. I could also add the other English language files like for England, or New Zealand. Then it can be an all English ISO file that can be downloaded. I would have to re-look into the distribution info for some of the clip art and such though. Let me know if you want me to go ahead and finish it off with the rest of the English language and help packs, plus the other work.

Thanks, GP It use to be in the upper right-hand corner of the OOo version of the code. It is not there in Ubuntu's/Debian LibreOffice 3.3 that I am running. I cannot find any place in the tools/options menus or any other place where it can be turned one or off. The problem with the one for the OOo 3.2.1 was it kept telling me that there was a new version for OOo, but it linked to the RC versions that were out. I do not know if OOo dumped that code before LibreOffice was split off last year, or if it was dropped for the time being by LibreOffice because it linked to the Betas and RC versions. There was a time when that update manager also looked to see if there were any extension updates and there was no way your could deselect some of the extensions that either moved their web addresses or no longer exists. I have a bunch of OOOP [Oxygen Open Office Professional?] accessories, templates and gallery add ons and such. Every time that and a few other extensions look for updates, there is an error generated. If there was an automatic system to go out to the Net and look an see if the different web sites have updates, and then the web sites change who and where the downloads are located, it would be hard with the old system to keep up-to-date on which add on update is located and if it is still online anymore. Maybe until there is a better automatic update finder system is developed, they powers that be disabled that part of the coding to stop listing Betas, RCs, errors for unknown update locations, etc..

If the people who do see the menu items, then could they have a different setup, like some other version as in the PPA version but with options that is not in ours?

To be precise, Debian is a Linux distribution upon which the Ubuntu Linux distribution is based, but they are largely separate and *very* different entities. As such, Ubuntu uses the Debian package management system (dpkg, apt*, etc. - as opposed to the Red Hat Package Manager rpm), but they (Debian and dpkg) are not the same thing.

RE: [libreoffice-users] spell checking and mixing extensions
I'm on Win XP with LO 3.3.0. All those settings are set and seem to correct. I've made no changes there. Just now I tried again and found spell check to be working but the insertion point was invisible. I got it back with a close/open. Tried spell check again, and some other things, I guess, as the insertion point went invisible but I got it back with a save. Can't reproduce this at will, though, so there must be more involved than running spell check.
