Dear Sir Am sorry for this long delay, some how the mail missed my view and came across is just now.
Will try and help a bit, though the best results do come from the Ubuntu List itself (which is marked here) **As far as how to enable a Kannada Dictionary / spell please see inline below your original mail:** On Tue, Jan 31, 2012 at 7:56 PM, Sriranga(78yrsold) <[email protected] > wrote: > Dear Ram, > I am newbie to libreoffice. switched from windows MSword. > I am using for Kannada lang.

Once this is open it will give you at the bottom an "add" button - click on this and add the .oxt extension file,. You will have to accept the license agreement before it allows you to proceed Next keep libreoffice writer open and go to Tools - Options - Languages and"enhanced language support" here enable CTL (right at the bottom) Once CTL (Complex Text Layout ) is enabled then have to enable CTL layout go a bit above to default languages and select (in front of the CTL option from the downward menu the language of your choice) To know if that language has a dictionary installed check for a ABC with a Check mark , if the language occurs without that it means no dictionary of that sort exists. After this close *all* libreoffice documents and restart openoffice writer - mistype a word in your chosen language and if the mistyped word comes up with a red wavy underline it means you have been successful in setting up your (kannada) language dictionary and spell checker You also have to ensure that in your main Libreoffice tool bar there are two icons, A blue tick / check mark under ABC characters, one of them has a red wavy line under, this has to be enabled, when enabled it shows up with a border and the blank areas get filled with blue (or your theme color) Hope this works -- Ram _________________________________________________________<http://www.munsiari.com> Amazing Indians: Transforming lives in the hills<http://www.timesnow.tv/Amazing-Indians-Transforming-lives-in-the-hills/videoshow/4383022.cms>
