No - all the SpellCheck button does is turn on or off the grammar check markings. In fact, although I have the GB Pack installed, no spell checking at all is happening (and I do have 'Check spelling as you type' set on, in Writing Aids). I wonder what the final linkup is between language pack and getting spellchecking to work, that I have missed -- /\/\aurice -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

Have now done that - thank you - and Tools/Options/Languages does show "GB" language environment. However, the spellchecker is still happy if I use US spelling or GB spelling, e.g. if I enter: Harbor favor neighbor harbour favour neighbour and hit the SpellChecker button, nothing is marked, nor was any word flagged on text entry - even though "Check spelling as you write" is set. Something awry somewhere (or am I overlooking something?). -- /\/\aurice -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

I think what I'll do is work with grammar check 'off' until the document is complete, then switch it on for a final grammar check. > You'd have to go through all the grammar rules the checker uses to > find the one this violates. It doesn't bother me much that the occasional word or phrase is marked - that's not intrusive - and I would welcome it finding it more subtle grammatical erors. It's the marking of all the hand-made indents that I cannot tolerate. It makes too much of a visual mess of the document. > ... it's probably an artifact of your > particular paragraph styles vs. MS Word for DOS (and all of its > descendants, opponents, etc.).

My use of Writer is for a few general 'home' letters and such - not a plethora of large formal documents - and I only have one style. I do not wish to get into the complication of 'a style for this and a style for that', etc. In that sense I have no problem with OpenOffice Writer. It's bossy LibreOffice that is upsetting my apple cart! Newcomers to xxxOffice will probably also wonder what the hell all those wiggly lines are for. Why not leave grammar check 'off' by default; then the more professional users can use it as they wish? -- /\/\aurice -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
