------- Additional comments from sin...@openoffice.org Wed Apr 14 10:56:33 +0000 2010 ------- First of all I want to apologize if I am repeating something that has been reported already. While I do appreciate this product and community, I do not have the time to search through multiple queries to see if my issue has been reported already. Both when creating a new document and when opening a MS office document in current Open Office, I am having major problems with spell checker. First of all, there IS NO REASON WHATSOEVER that spell check is not on by default. Secondly--autocheck often is clicked on, yet no spelling errors are highlighted. Attempting to link a language to it via the instructions given in the help file either fails or is overly complicated. Spellcheck is often off or functionally useless, and attempts to link a language to it are definately overcomplicated, and often do not seem to result in anything actually useful. Please address this issue. While I appreciate the free nature of your project, bugs like this that have existed for so long after the release of Open Office are simply ridiculous. As-is, I would never suggest Open Office to anyone. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
