Horace and I have been looking at this off-list, and it now appears
that for some reason the standard dictionary (from an en-us
installation) is being applied, but is empty. Almost every word in his
documents is identified as misspelled (although spellcheck appears
satisfied with all-caps words, in this case ACE and FAX, and with
digits), and right-clicking provides no words as suggestions, just the
other options about ignoring and so on. When he adds a word to the
standard [ALL] dictionary via the Add option of the spellchecker, it
is recognized for that session, but closing OOo and opening another
document with the same word it is again unrecognized. (At least, this
seems to have happened once.) I'm not really familiar with dictionary
management, can anybody suggest what might be happening? He's tried
reinstalling several times, but so far no luck.
I seem to remember this being a problem with the Standard[ALL]
dictionary before, but I am not sure what the final disposition of it
was. Perhaps this is a reversion back to that earlier time.
I have my own way of getting around this potential problem. With
the Spelling dialog open, click the Options button to open the Options
dialog. I then create a personal dictionary and click the checkbox in
front of the new dictionary. Then I add the words that to the new
dictionary.
