Hi Manfred, Thanks again for your kind help. So, as per your suggestions:
> You might try to re-synchronize the 'bundled dictionaries': > > - Close LibreOffice (+ Quickstarter, if enabled) > - Go to '...\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application > Data\LibreOffice\3\user\extensions\bundled' > - Rename the folder 'bundled' to (e.g.) 'bundled_old' > - Restart LibO. > > A new folder 'bundled' will be created in the user profile. > All bundled dictionaries should be available. I followed the above and exactly what you expected would happen ended up happening. Unfortunately, my spell checker remained broken. Still no fat check mark. > Addendum: > (1) Checking the program folder 'extensions' > [Path: ...\Program_Files\LibreOffice 3.5\share\extensions] > - Folder 'dict-en' is available (with the file 'en_US.dic' [among > others])? Both the folder and the file are present. > (2) Your LibreOffice 3.5.2 installation: default or customized > installation? Default. > (3) Does the problem occur--right from start--with > - a renamed LibreOffice user profile I exited LO, deleted the C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\LibreOffice folder, and restarted. The folder was re-created, but the spell checker remained broken. > - another / a new user (OS level)? I created a new user -- an administrator -- and logged out. I logged in as the new user and started LO. Spell check was still broken in the same way. > [1] https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile > Thanks again for your help. Would you have any other ideas? I'd be enthusiastic to hear them!
