CONFIRM - This bug still exists in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) Description: Spellcheck doesn't work at all in Open Office 2.4. With no dictionary, it completely fails. This is when you've installed a Canada/English system.
Fix: The followning steps are what i did to fix it. Hopefully with detail enough for anyone to follow it. Download the dictionary file, extract it, copy files to /usr/share/myspell/dicts. Fix file permissions, and then create links. (I'm not sure if the links are needed, but they existed for the en-US and en-GB, so i added them). Commands to type: wget http://ftp.services.openoffice.org/pub/OpenOffice.org/contrib/dictionaries/en_CA.zip unzip en_CA.zip sudo mv en_ca* /usr/share/myspell cd /usr/share/myspell/dicts/ sudo chown root:root en_CA.* sudo ln -s en_CA.aff en-CA.aff sudo ln -s en_CA.dic en-CA.dic The final step was to edit the dictionaries list. sudo vi /etc/openoffice/dictionary.lst Add the following line to the file: DICT en CA en_CA Note: The update-openoffice-dicts script DOES NOT WORK. In fact, if i run it after manually adding the en-CA definition, it removes the en-CA directives. -- [Ubuntu] [hardy] OpenOffice lacks canadian english spellcheck https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44100 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
