Hi :) Renaming the users profile is a good first thing to try if any problems happen in LibreOffice, or OpenOffice, or pretty much and other OpenSource program http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile It sets "everything back to factory defaults" in proprietary software the only equivalent tends to be to reinstall the whole program. Oddly reinstalling an OpenSource program doesn't touch your User Profile so it keeps all your settings and stuff intact.
Since you have already just done this and got nowhere we can only hope that Tim from Kracked Press is able to help, or that someone else has gained something like his skills and knowledge in this area! Good luck and regards from Tom :) --- On Thu, 19/4/12, cbkschroeder <[email protected]> wrote: From: cbkschroeder <[email protected]> Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: Spell checker "breaks" in Windows XP LO 3.5.2 To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, 19 April, 2012, 18:53 Hi Manfred, Thanks again for your kind help.

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])?

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!
