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.

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.

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
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 amazing how you get so bloody off track i deleted the libre versions that are not full size and where do the hell do anything on normal folders with odd things in it How dare you be so crazed and bring that up are you on drugs? and i delete from add/delete in the control panel . . 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

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. Hopefully one of them will stand out as being someone you recognise. After that it should be fairly easy to navigate fairly quickly since folders are probably sorted in alphabetical order by default.

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.

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.

To: Lostsoul joyseyh...@yahoo.com Date: Friday, October 12, 2012, 12:34 PM I think there is some other issues going on with this user and Ubuntu will not fix the problem. 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. Windows is a Pita to install. I think probably a lot of people on this list share your pain as there are probably a lot us here that have had to try it too. With hindsight i think it's usually best to stick with whatever is already on the machine but just shrink the partition as small as reasonably possible and then use the rest of the space for the new install of whatever. Win7 is great once it's installed and got all the programs but it sounds like yours has something wrong with it, or with the LO install or something. Like i say it is a total pain to install. Not that once you have created the Ubuntu Cd you can boot-up straight from the Cd without even installing it so you can test-drive the lookfeel of Ubuntu. We call it a Live Cd session. You can make a Usb one which is a lot faster but people often still call it LiveCd even if it's Usb.

Hi :) +1 Except that i've never seen a virus doing exactly that before, but then i don't see the effects of many viruses. I should try to keep one machine insecure deliberately in order to recognise the way these things look. Also i've not heard of a virus affecting LO before. I've heard of a theoretical possibility a couple of times. The release of the 3.5.0 dealt with the only feasibly realistic potential threat (allegedly) Regards from Tom :) --- On Mon, 15/10/12, anne-ology lagin...@gmail.com wrote: From: anne-ology lagin...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work x To: Lostsoul joyseyh...@yahoo.com Cc: users@global.libreoffice.org Date: Monday, 15 October, 2012, 16:23 Since you're asking nicely, I'll respond; have you read Tom's responses to you?, have you clicked on the URLs he's included?, ...

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.

I certainly have no idea how frequent your problem (or problems) are and you don't seem to know either. but sorry I brought up the 'serious question' issue. can we have a sense of where things actually stand? in particular I wonder when you downloaded a _legitimate_ copy of LO, the spell-checker didn't work; so did you follow-through and install the extension? you were given instructions on how to install extensions. did you follow those instructions? there were so many emails and so many topics, I lost track and I bet some of your potential helpers may have lost track too. if you did, was there an error message? what was the result? not that it's worth much but I remembered I have a netbook here I can boot to Windows, some version of Windows 7.

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.

hum ok amazing how you say everything is mis set in windows never had a problem with vista so that begs the question why do libre and win 7 hate each other it should work like a snap dang it but doesn t . 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.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work . .
Hi :) Would you like someone to access your machine remotely and fix LO for you to make it all better? I have installed LO on several Win7 machines but you are right, i do avoid using Win7. I've never had any trouble with LO on it when i do use it. Installs have been very smooth and it's all gone really well. People use those machine and even use LO with no troubles whatsoever. It's not clear why you can't perform simple tasks that everyone else seems to manage. The best way would be to start the remote desktop thing and save the little file it gives you. Then attach that file to a private email, not to the whole list! In the email itself give the code that they set in the little pop-up box. Copypaste works. You can probably work out why we try to avoid doing this sort of thing! We prefer it if users can start to learn how to think for themselves so they can help their friends / colleagues directly without needing to take up a lot of other people's time on technical support. Unfortunately that does mean the person has to think a little bit sometimes (which can be dangerous). Since you are having so much trouble with that it looks like remote assistance might be about your only hope unless you take your machine to a shop. It sounds like you have tried to install Win7 yourself and not yet finished all the dreary nonsense to finish the process. A shop might be able to finish the process or perhaps revert to Vista.

Win7 is great once it's installed and got all the programs but it sounds like yours has something wrong with it, or with the LO install or something. Like i say it is a total pain to install. Not that once you have created the Ubuntu Cd you can boot-up straight from the Cd without even installing it so you can test-drive the lookfeel of Ubuntu. We call it a Live Cd session.

I just joined this list, so I may be jumping in on something I have no business in, but you ask does anyone out there use libre with win7 so far I would guess it’s a huge no... I use Libre with Win7 with no problems. I always get my Libre downloads from Libre itself, never a third party. I've tried the Wubi install of Ubuntu with its version of Libre, and I always find myself coming back to Win7. Compared to Win7, Ubuntu just seems unpolished. I eventually deleted the Ubuntu Wubi install. If I recall, the Windows version of Libre had better support for the Linux Libertine G font than the Ubuntu version, which is important to me.

If the person installed a version of LO that is not the proper file size, then there will be trouble.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work . .
Hi :) Yes, the Wubi is sitting on top of Windows systems rather than being on bare metal so it's never going to be quite as good as the system it's sitting on top of. Hmmm, i think it is a lot closer to bare-metal than it would be if installed on a virtual machine inside Windows = i think it's more like the Wine approach but it still relies on some of the flakiest bits about Windows, such as their boot-loader, registry, and Ntfs partition (thankfully (at least hopefully) not Fat32 or other Fat). The advantages are 1. it gives you a fully working GnuLinux so you have easy access to all those OpenSource programs. 2. it helps you familiarise yourself with the different system to help you migrate without taking the slash and burn approach that people so often take (which leads them to disliking the system they are not familiar with because they can't find where things are and then blame the system for not having them even though they probably do exist or are done in a different way) 3. it's fully compatible with other Ubuntu machines (and therefore all other desktop GnuLinuxes. The next step after getting familiar with the Wubi would be a dual-boot and that would get it on bare-metal. The dual-boot gives a different menu just after you start-up your machine so that you can still choose whether to boot into Windows or Ubuntu that particular time. To slow it down even more it might be good to keep your Wubi for a while because there are probably config files and data that you want to copy over to your new system. Plus you probably want to try to copy roughly the same visual set-up and additional programs or ones you've swapped out too.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work . .
I have installed LO 3.4.x and 3.5.x on many Win7 systems, mostly laptops. I did not have any trouble with installing and their using the features like the spell checking options. As for Ubuntu/Linux, most Windows users will not switch unless there is a good reason to. I had some good reasons and I went to Ubuntu for my main desktop since Feb 2010, and for some other systems before that. I never used the Wubi install version of Ubuntu, but did a full install as either a dual booting system with partitioning the hard drive into two sections, or deleting Windows all together and only having Ubuntu and the EXT4 file system [ instead of NTFS ]. I have not heard anything about problems with Linux support of Libertine G fonts, and I am a font guy with over 14 GB of font files in my font-folder[s].

Remote does indeed does seem the way to go but i ll try the big download of libra but we just had another e mail here saying he can t get libra to work for him; so waiting for comments on his issue which is my issue even though you all enjoy getting off track big time. Comments on his issue should be a hoot can t wait for them. And that brings up a question why does libre; spell / grammer check work on some win 7 computers and not others what could it be that we keep missing to click on or re set ? ? --- 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 . . To: users@global.libreoffice.org users@global.libreoffice.org, Robert Burns joyseyh...@yahoo.com Date: Saturday, October 13, 2012, 5:11 AM Hi :) Would you like someone to access your machine remotely and fix LO for you to make it all better? I have installed LO on several Win7 machines but you are right, i do avoid using Win7. I've never had any trouble with LO on it when i do use it. Installs have been very smooth and it's all gone really well. People use those machine and even use LO with no troubles whatsoever. It's not clear why you can't perform simple tasks that everyone else seems to manage. The best way would be to start the remote desktop thing and save the little file it gives you. Then attach that file to a private email, not to the whole list! In the email itself give the code that they set in the little pop-up box. Copypaste works. You can probably work out why we try to avoid doing this sort of thing! We prefer it if users can start to learn how to think for themselves so they can help their friends / colleagues directly without needing to take up a lot of other people's time on technical support. Unfortunately that does mean the person has to think a little bit sometimes (which can be dangerous). Since you are having so much trouble with that it looks like remote assistance might be about your only hope unless you take your machine to a shop. It sounds like you have tried to install Win7 yourself and not yet finished all the dreary nonsense to finish the process. A shop might be able to finish the process or perhaps revert to Vista.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work x
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.

Hi :) I thought most people that had trouble with spell-checkers fixed it by just downloading and installing one of the dictionaries from the NA (North American) Dvd Project?

Hi :) I think it's one of the Extensions on this page http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/american-british-canadian-spelling-hyphen-thesaurus-dictionaries Extensions are probably best known as Add-ons or Plug-ins in other projects. Extensions is the older word and really needs to be modernised and upgraded to one of the newer names that people do tend to recognise because it's just confusing now.

The main page is http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center but often other 3rd party Extensions can be found in all sorts of odd places and OpenOffice Extensions probably also still work.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work . .
Ubuntu is one of the more popular versions of Linux operating systems. Linux is more stable than Windows, where if a package crashes it is just the package and not the whole system like Windows often does. You cannot [or easily] run Windows package on Linux, but you should find everything you will need for free so you will not have to buy anything. Also, the nasties that infect Windows are a rare breed for Linux. Linux OSs are usually free. Linux software are almost always free. I went to Ubuntu's version of Linux several years ago. I like it better than Windows, for the most part. I have been using Ubuntu for my main desktop system since Feb. 2010 when I bought it. I have my Dell laptop, since it has room for it, dual booting so I can use either Vista or Ubuntu on it. I rarely use Windows anymore, except for one USB hardware and to use Epson's software to print a label directly on my printable CDs/DVDs. Sometimes it take a bit for the newest printers to get a specific driver, but most HP printers are currently covered and you can find drivers that work for the other brands halfway easily if the company down not offer a link to a Linux driver. If you are a normal Windows user, you may find it hard to switch to a version of Linux. It is just like switching from Windows to Mac or Mac to Windows, hard to get use to and you will need to get all the package you might need for your work on the computer. I switched because there were a lot of package that I needed and could not afford to buy them using a Windows OS. I found all of those package types free on Linux. Actually now a few have been ported over to Windows, but not when I needed them a few years ago. So I would think you would not want to switch over to a Linux OS. I do not remember any Linux users having the Spell Checking problems you are having on Windows, though.

A good Grammar Checker is hard to find and develop. SO, with that said, there are Grammar Checking systems written for LibreOffice.

I have some on my NA-DVD for some of the languages listed. On 10/12/2012 08:50 AM, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) Ahh, you mean a grammar checker? The only real spelling mistake was shlder.

I have been reading this thread for some time, but I'm having a hard time understanding what you write. So I have some questions for you. Open Writer so you have an Untitled document in it. Click Format and then click Character from its menu. In the middle of the window that opens, what is in the Language dropdown list? [Mine has English( USA)]. Is it the language you use? Does the icon that comes with the language contain an ABC and check mark? More questions later.

Hi :) I think what i would be tempted to do at this stage, since you have put so much timeeffort in is to resize the Win7 partition to around 30-50Gb and then get an Ubuntu Cd and install Ubuntu on however much space you have left (assuming you have over 15Gb to spare). 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. Windows is a Pita to install. I think probably a lot of people on this list share your pain as there are probably a lot us here that have had to try it too. With hindsight i think it's usually best to stick with whatever is already on the machine but just shrink the partition as small as reasonably possible and then use the rest of the space for the new install of whatever. Win7 is great once it's installed and got all the programs but it sounds like yours has something wrong with it, or with the LO install or something. Like i say it is a total pain to install. Not that once you have created the Ubuntu Cd you can boot-up straight from the Cd without even installing it so you can test-drive the lookfeel of Ubuntu. We call it a Live Cd session. You can make a Usb one which is a lot faster but people often still call it LiveCd even if it's Usb.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work . .
I think there is some other issues going on with this user and Ubuntu will not fix the problem. 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.

Hopefully LibreOffice Writer should be in there. If not then at the bottom there is usually something like more programs. LibreOffice's various programs/modules (Writer, Calc etc) should be in there. If that doesn't work or starts looking far too complicated then 1. Open LibreOffice but do File - Close to get back to the LO splash-screen that offers a choice of which module to open. 2. Instead of opening a module just drag the file's icon into the LO window Probably the 1st set of 4 steps will do the trick. The rest is just in case it's being awkward. I have forgotten which OS you are using but they are all pretty much the same except Mac. However, there are slight differences so please let us know which OS you are using to get better detail. Windows? Xp, Win7? Ubuntu, Mageia, Fedora openSUSE or some other flavour of GnuLinux? OS X or other Mac? It seems unlikely you are using a BSD (unless you count Mac) but if you are there might still be someone on this list using it although i think they tend to go off to the devs list fairly quickly or use their own down-stream forums/lists.

Hi :) You could try a few screenshots and upload them to this thread through Nabble. Also you might find some help in documentation http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications However, i suspect that your install went wrong somewhere. Where you able to check the md5sum or SHA of the download to make sure that was alright? Given that i have unlimited broadband here i would probably just re-download even tho checking md5sum is surprisingly easy. Possibly the easiest thing to try 1st tho is to rename your User Profile.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work . .
This has been a recurring issue that happens to people since 3.4.x came out. Some people get this issue, while others do not. Some people fix it by removing the user profile [in various places depending on the system], and then allowing LO to recreate it. Others fixed the problem with a reinstall of the package after they removed the user profile. Still others fixed it by downloading/installing a dictionary extension file [.oxt] for the language you want to use. I try to maintain an up-to-date list of all the available dictionaries that I know of. http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.5-installs/dictionary.html with over 180 dictionaries, including over 20 localized Spanish dictionaries. The official LO extension center also has dictionary files. My largest American English dictionary/thesaurus has over 773,000 words in its spell checking word list. I also have British and Canadian English dictionaries with over 600,000 words in it. I would rename the user profile [Ubuntu Linux has it in a hidden .libreoffice folder, but I do not remember where the different Windows ones are located]. Then I would reinstall the LO version you are using. Then to give you some extra help, I would download an localized dictionaries you might want to use and install them with the Extension Manager. That will cover all your bases and may give you some more localized dictionary options that the normal LO install does not cover. The reasons why the Spell-checking issue happens to some but not others, is a mystery to many of us. But these steps usually correct the problem.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work . .
I know many users that have Win7 and their LO package works fine. I know of users that have this spelling issue with Vista and XP. It is not an issue that can be easily replicated, since only a few people seem to have trouble with the spell checking system. If the issue cannot be easy replicated, it becomes very hard to find what code or combination of code is causing the problem on only certain systems. It could be something as weird as some problem in the Win7 registry that is corrupted that could be causing the problem. I have to run a checking system every so ofter to fix the registry errors that happen on my various XP and Vista systems I deal with from time to time [mine and others]. Oh well, that is why I have been running Ubuntu since 2009 on my main desktop and on various servers and laptops before then.

Some people just want to start spellchecking at the current location. YMMV. but then i get the boot telling me its all finished and it isn t ! ? So whats that crap all about and how do i fix it ? ? H E L P waiting . . Check that in Format / Characters the language is defined as you wish. If it is defined as [none] no wonder you get the behaviour you're meeting. The best way to fix the undefined language is to set the underlying paragraph style: (the paragraph being selected or the insertion point being in the faulty paragraph) 1. F11 (or Format / Styles and formatting). A new toolbar shows up. 2. Make sure the Paragraph styles list is selected (first toolbutton from the left) 2. Right-Click the selected style name 3. Select Change 4. In the Font page, go to Language list. Set the language to the desired value. 5. Validate And you're set! Note: I'm using an FR interface
