I was helping my wife type up a wedding ceremony and found that the spell
checker would not work.
What we were doing was editing a previous marriage ceremony that she had
used for another wedding (she is a marriage celebrant), so it was a recent
but pre-existing document we were working on ... not a new one.
When I tried to spell check the edited document, the spell check dialogue
box came up with the "Finished" pop-up on top of it, and no language
selected, and didn't find any mistakes, of which there were many. I went
into Tools > Options > Language settings > etc and found that
English(Australian) was selected, and the default location and language were
English(Australian), yet the spell checker would not discover mistakes and
was not using the Australian English dictionary.
What I did in the end was to Select, Copy, and Paste the entire document
into a new, blank, OOo Text document and spell checked it there - the spell
checker worked in the new document, so I saved this "untitled" document
under the name of the original wedding ceremony, thus overwriting the
original.
Have any of you any idea why my spell checker would not check the older
document?
Many thanks,
James
