Bug#422937: Spell checking not working
Package: openoffice.org-dictionaries Version: 1:2.0.2.99.2.0.3rc5-3 I'm using a standard installation of OpenOffice on stable/etch, and my spellchecking is no longer working. I've upgraded recently to etch from sarge, and I don't remember is the spell check was working post upgrade or not. You may think that it's the trivial issue of not having the proper language set in the paragraph style. Well, it's not. This is what I do in Writer : o create a new Text document. o type random characters o select the text o context menu - Characters o Language is set to English USA o Tools-Spellcheck o The spellcheck is complete. o Text it not corrected. Note that after noticing the problem, the first thing I did was to delete the ~/.office* directories. This did not help. These are random observations leading me to believe that this is not an usual problem. In the Character-Language selection pulldown, I remember that all languages with a dictionaty installed had a ABC tickmark icon in front of them. On my install, none of them has that. The title of the spellcheck windows has the following title : Spellcheck: () The Wizards-Install new dictionaries does not do anything at all. In Tools-Options-LanguageSettings-WritingAids, the list of Available language module is empty. Tools-Language-Thesaurus is grayed out. Tools-Language-Hyphenation returned an error the first time I ran it that it could not find US/GB stuff. Later, it just does nothing. A few details on my system. I'm not using Gnome or KDE, but fvwm2.
