Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work x . . .
The dictionaries come from many sources, groups, and individuals. I put out three versions of English: American English, British English, and Canadian English. This is the link to the American English dictionary that has over 773,000 words, plus thesaurus. http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.5-installs/add-on-dictionaries-large-list/kpp-american-english-dictionary-plus-tech-words-773407-words.oxt This is the list of all of the English dictionary extensions I know of. http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.5-installs/dictionary.html#english The LO package includes an English dictionary that includes several different version of English. Why these versions we combined into one extension, I do not know. The big reason for the different versions [there are over 20 for Spanish], is the fact that we have localized versions per country or region. America spells Color one way, but British and Canada spells it Colour. There are many words that are spelled differently in the USA vs. in England or Canada. These differences are why we have localized dictionaries. American English 2012 dictionary? The only one I know of is shown in the Extension Manager as American English spelling-hyphenation-thesaurus-773407 words 2012.06.24 That is the one I linked above. The reason for the 2012 date is due to the fact that June 24th of 2012 was the last modification of that dictionary extension file. I have not seen an official American English 2012 dictionary out there, as of yet. But I may update my English dictionaries again before the year is out. Where did I get my information - i.e. word list - from? Well there are many sources of spelling word lists out there in the electronic ether and I found them over the years and collected the words into one set of lists for American, British, and Canadian versions of English. Back in the 1980's I did a spell checking dictionary project at a college and there were about 177,000 words in that list back then, Now my lists are all over 600,000 words each.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work x . . . x
My 770,000 word version is much, much bigger in the number of words checked. To add it to your copy of LibreOffice just go to TOOLS and then Extension Manager. There will be an add button that you can use to add an extension from a file you have on your computer. LO will use both, since the included version is locked, but it seems that the most recently installed versions are used first. I found this out, since my thesaurus lookups showed before the included thesaurus's lookups in the listing of words. I do not know if you can do an install for Windows, using the custom install, and not install the included English dictionary and just install your own external dictionary extension.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work x
Hi :) Did you uninstall all versions of 'LO' that you got from some freeware site and do an antivirus scan? Did you download the 3.5.6 or 3.6.something LO from the official site and install as advised? Is there any chance of giving us a screen-shot? Also, just out of curiosity, have you used Win7 on any machine other than your own? Has anyone else used your machine that might have some familiarity with Win7 when it's properly installed? Did you install Win7 or was it already on the machine when you bought it? Btw Abiword can save files in MS formats but you have to do File - Save As ... You can't set it to default to MS formats. I tried nagging them about it but gave up. The native format it uses is the OpenDocument Format, same as LO, same as almost every other word-processing program except MS and even they purport to support it as a non-native format. So, people using MS Office 'should' be able to open your documents created in AbiWord. I did mention all this when i made some suggestions about what other free word-processors were out there although not in as much detail.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work x
Not using libre from free sites because they are 28 or 125 mb in size so i deleted those now using the full version 220 mb version 3.6.6. but thinking of trying 3.5.4 since some think that s the best version to try with windows 7 but trying abiword and I B M lotus and Kingsoft maybe they won t throw fits at windows 7 so no hurry to reset w7; libre needs fixing not windows 7 . Windows 7 came with the lap top; when i use save as i have 7 choices so which is the best to use; save as with libre and can i get a save doc format switched over to saved as; and would libre stop having win7 fits i wonder .

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work x
Hi :) Thanks :) Ok, deleting a thing doesn't always uninstall it in Windows. I think it works in Wine but not Windows. (errr Wine stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator because it is a far more sophisticated way of getting Windows programs running on non-MS platforms). So can you open the Add/remove programs thing in Win7? it's a real pain to try to find it. I tend to stumble onto it by accident and then quickly do everything i can that i need to before i lose it again. It might be that when you say you have deleted programs you have been using the right tool, especially if you have much experience with Vista (which i mostly managed to dodge). So, when you say you deleted the programs was that by dragdropping them into the wastebin or right-clicking on the program folde and choosing delete or did you find some weird gui that looked a bit like a normal folder with odd things in it? Ok, so if Win7 was pre-installed then we can kinda rule that out of the equation for now. The way you were talking about it made it sound like you had bought a Win7 Dvd and installed it yourself without having had much experience of doing that sort of thing. It's not as easy as people make out! So, we can definitely rule out needing to install Ubuntu just in order to make sure you have a working OS on your machine at this stage!! Ok, so when we say to rename the user profile that is only the user profile for LO, not for Win7! Each program tends to have it's own way of storing all those settings and configurations. They all tend to store them separately and most have different ideas of what are the best ways of doing it. Some allow users to go in and mess around with stuff but others really freak out and cause problems! Most OpenSource programs tend to use the same folder to set-up a sub-folder for themselves. Then inside that folder they may only have a little text-file that you can read and maybe even edit with Notepad! LibreOffice tends to have tons of stuff in there so they have a number of sub-folders inside their main sub-folder = such as one sub-sub-folder to contain all Extensions, another for back-ups, another for galleries of images, another for templates and so on. If you rename the main sub-folder and then open LibreOffice again it will automatically create a new one with all the default settings. Of course since you only renamed rather than deleted it you can always copy some of those sub-sub-folders back to regain settings and see if it was that sub-sub-folder that was causing the problem. Many of us try to create a copy of a working sub-folder in order to be able to quickly revert to a working system if one of our users has done something crazy or had an accident. Ok, so navigate to C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\config\LibreOffice\3 When you were in the \config part of that you might have noticed other folders alongside the LO one. Programs such as Firefox, hmmm, well Firefox is run by the Mozilla Foundation and they have a few programs so they tend to put one sub-folder called Mozilla and then create a sub-sub-folder in their each time you install one of their other programs. My usual prefered way is to rename the 3 folder to todays date written backwards. Some people just rename it to backup or some-such but then they don't always know which is the one that caused tons of problems and which is their real back-up [shrugs]. So once you have renamed C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\config\LibreOffice\3 to be C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\config\LibreOffice\somethingelse then make sure you have closed any documents and all other open instances of LibreOffice and then try opening a document or just open LibreOffice. Hopefully problems will have magically vanished but please let us know.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work x
Hi :) Errr, username would need to be replaced by whatever name it is that you are logged in as. I'm not completely sure why you are searching for it except that it's the most difficult way of trying to find it. Just go into My Computer, open the C: drive and find the Users folder. Double-click on that and then you will see a list of 'Users' although some of them may be just things created by the system rather than being real people.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work x
Do you have both WIN and LO open at the same time?; if so, then close the one you're not using ... open the one you wish to use. [re. saving a document], when you click on 'file', there are other save features but the main ones are 'save' vs. 'save as' - ignore the others since these merely add the suffix for you; the same problems arise if you click on 'save'. THEREFORE click on 'save as' then follow the blocks - choosing the suffix you desire, choosing the folder you desire, then clicking to save.

Did you download the 3.5.6 or 3.6.something LO from the official site and install as advised? Is there any chance of giving us a screen-shot? Also, just out of curiosity, have you used Win7 on any machine other than your own? Has anyone else used your machine that might have some familiarity with Win7 when it's properly installed? Did you install Win7 or was it already on the machine when you bought it? Btw Abiword can save files in MS formats but you have to do File - Save As ... You can't set it to default to MS formats. I tried nagging them about it but gave up. The native format it uses is the OpenDocument Format, same as LO, same as almost every other word-processing program except MS and even they purport to support it as a non-native format. So, people using MS Office 'should' be able to open your documents created in AbiWord. I did mention all this when i made some suggestions about what other free word-processors were out there although not in as much detail.

On Sun, 14 Oct 2012, Lostsoul wrote: Haha very funny that know one can tell me why word problems hate windows 7 I think people have explained that 'word problems', that is, word-processors, do not hate Windows 7. unless I'm misremembering, several have indicated they are running Libreoffice in particular on Windows 7 without any issues. and a couple have had issues like yourself. this is par for the course - some have problems, some don't. why _you_ in particular are having trouble may relate in part to Andreas's suggestion that you do a 'crash course' (he wrote 'crash curse' but maybe that's freudian g). but if you want a serious answer, you need to follow normal etiquette and protocol and ask a serious question. and note that it's sometimes a lot harder to pose a serious question about computers than it is to answer it. sometimes your question has to provide a careful understandable description of the problem (and best one problem at a time). never had any word programs hate vista so explain if you dare; you'd be the first why the word programs hate win 7 and why no one but no one has a fix; this i got to hear. How do i turn off file extensions in windows 7 64 bit that's easy to google. remember this forum is about Libreoffice? just look it up on google, you don't need to fuss with the '64 bit' part. for that matter, if you are having trouble with abiword, you also should google or find a forum addressing that. (I don't use abiword but I assume you do a 'save as' or 'export to' to get a Word document out of it but best look it up and not rely on someone's guess.) I strongly back Andreas's idea that you get some help from someone nearby or take a curse or something like that. - later . .

Hi :) To get back to factory defaults and 'switch off' all Extensions just rename your User Profile. Larry gave a link to help with that. Here is another link that will one day be merged with the one Larry gave http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile Factory defaults are possibly a bit less tweaked than whatever you had installed so it may look a little different and may remove some weirdnesses. It's a good thing to try whenever you find weird things going on. It usually beats a reinstall assuming you have now installed a proper version of LO.

Think i spotted something about spell check needing a red wavey line underlining words and how the lines aren t saved so no mis spelled words get corrected but posted to that hopefully someone will answer to that. And the spelling check doesn t follow the blinking curser always starts at the being skipping mis spelled words can t figure that out yet.

Ok maybe i should try abiword nothing to lose; only like google for searchs and using this version from the libre web site - Version 3.6.2.2 (Build ID: da8c1e6) - so maybe i should delete 3.6.2.2. and downgrade to 3.5.6 maybe it might be happy with my win 7 ? --- On Sat, 10/13/12, Tom Davies tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: From: Tom Davies tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work . .

The person will be a Windows user and not a Linux user in the foreseeable future. Where is he getting a 28MB or a 108 MB version of LO is my concern. I do not remember Windows LO being that small. Then there is the comment of being a use for 3 years. LO 3.3.0 came out in the beginning of last year, so it has not be out for 3 years yet. If the person installed a version of LO that is not the proper file size, then there will be trouble. I think the best thing to do is a complete uninstall of LO and then download a fresh copy from the web site and make sure what is downloaded matches the file size of the package.

Ubuntu comes with tons of programs already installed so it very usable right from the start. http://www.ubuntu.com/ The download button is halfway down the left side, just under the title Rock Solid.

This is the largest list of dictionaries on one page . . over 180 the last I counted, and I stopped counting months ago. http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.5-installs/dictionary.html#english The ones that start with kpp are the ones I created. Download the .oxt file[s] you want and use the Extension Manager to install it. The largest American dictionary/thesaurus has over 773,000 words in it. - - - - As for Calligra - the web site talks about it being part of the KDE community But it might now be as easy as you like to get it, according to the way I read the text below. Therefore you can download and install Calligra Suite in most cases free of charge. While the Calligra project only provides source code, it is easily installable through the package manager of many linux distributions, FreeBSD. There is also preliminary support on Mac OS X and Windows. I wonder how much of it is based on the old OOo coding.
