Dan asked me
what is happening when you try
to spell check a word.
Try this:
1) Open Writer
2) Misspell a word
3) Click on the word so that the cursor in in it
4) Format > Character
5) Click the Font tab
What is listed under Language? Is it the correct language? Does it
have a tick with an "abc" in front of it?
When I checked, the language was "English(Eire), and there is no tick with
an "ABC". So I switched to English (UK), and the red line indicating an
error appeared under the word. However, other words remained the same, and
when I selected them they still came up with the english (Eire) setting.
How do I se openoffice to spellcheck each document without having to change
settings each time? This happened AFTER I downloaded another english
dictionary (English(Canada)), as I couldn't find one that said English(UK)
or English (Eire). I just want to be able to type and have the word
processor check as I go along. I'm sure it's dead easy, but i'm missing
something simple.
Thanks,
Colm
