Just save the file 2. close the file 3. double-click to open it 4. click on the spell-check button If step 3 opens the file in anything other than LibreOffice then 1. close the file again 2. right-click on the file's icon, a menu should appear 3. in that right-click menu choose "Open with ..." 4. Hopefully LibreOffice Writer should be in there. If not then at the bottom there is usually something like "more programs". LibreOffice's various programs/modules (Writer, Calc etc) should be in there. If that doesn't work or starts looking far too complicated then 1. Open LibreOffice but do File - Close to get back to the LO splash-screen that offers a choice of which module to open. 2. Instead of opening a module just drag the file's icon into the LO window Probably the 1st set of 4 steps will do the trick. The rest is just in case it's being awkward. I have forgotten which OS you are using but they are all pretty much the same except Mac. However, there are slight differences so please let us know which OS you are using to get better detail. Windows? Xp, Win7? Ubuntu, Mageia, Fedora openSUSE or some other flavour of Gnu&Linux? OS X or other Mac? It seems unlikely you are using a BSD (unless you count Mac) but if you are there might still be someone on this list using it although i think they tend to go off to the devs list fairly quickly or use their own down-stream forums/lists.

H E L P waiting . . > Check that in Format / Characters the language is defined as you wish. If it is defined as [none] no wonder you get the behaviour you're meeting. The best way to fix the undefined language is to set the underlying paragraph style: (the paragraph being selected or the insertion point being in the faulty paragraph) 1. F11 (or Format / Styles and formatting). A new toolbar shows up. 2. Make sure the Paragraph styles list is selected (first toolbutton from the left) 2. Right-Click the selected style name 3. Select Change 4. In the Font page, go to Language list. Set the language to the desired value. 5. Validate And you're set! Note: I'm using an FR interface.
