I had this problem and fixed it after someone on this list directed me
to something like ">> spell checking not working in LBO 3.4.3
>>
>>
http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/spell-checking-not-working-in-LBO-3-4-3-tt3299202.html#a3302339";.
Specifically, I found "path:
...\LibreOffice\3\user\extensions\bundled"
("C:\Users\sgraves\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\3\user\extensions\bundled" in
my case). I renamed "bundled" to "bundled.err". Then I restarted
LibreOffice. After that, I was able to get what I wanted with
LibreOffice Writer following the documentation to Tools -> Options ->
Langauge Settings" and Tools -> Language, ... . It took some
experimentation, but I (mostly) got what I wanted.
NOTE: Windows (Vista and 7, at least) sometimes hides the
AppData folder, even when it seems to say it's not. In Windows
Explorer, type C:\Users\yourUserID\AppData", and it should appear [with
"yourUserID" replaced by your user ID].
Hope this helps.

Hi,
please have a look at the bug report (only 91 comments) ... ;)
I think it's principally a Windows bug, especially Win7.
Registering/synchronizing the bundled dictionary extensions is broken,
the user profile (of a previous LibO installation) doesn't get the new
values of the upgraded LibO version.
Mostly *all* language modules are unavailable in 'Tools> Options>
Language Settings> Writing Aids...'.
I've tried a short (by that time still incomplete) summary (based on
WinXP) in comment #24.
With Win7 that seems to be worse.

For what OS and what conditions does this "bug" happen? I did not get this
when I downloaded/installed LO 3.4.3 yesterday on a "clean install" Compaq
Win XP system. But I also add Language Tool and Linguist, plus other
default extension before I start using LO. So that may help the issue.

I installed LO 3.4.3 (OOO340m1 Build 302) a few weeks ago and I've
just noticed that the spell check (both AutoSpellCheck and
Tools->Spelling and Grammar...) don't work.
For AutoSpellCheck, mispelled words are not underlined.
For Spelling and Grammar I just immediately get a message saying "The
spell check is complete".
I installed LibO_3.4.3_Win_x86_helppack_en-GB and I've re-run the
installer with the repair option but no improvement. (English (UK) is
my default language for documents).
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this isn't working?
I have had previous versions installed if that might be conflicting?
Running on Windows XP SP3.
I suppose:
