For reasons connected with real life neither he nor I followed up on this and then matter slipped our minds. I've reminded him of this and he promises a detailed write-up in 24 hours, which I'll post to this list for preliminary consideration. >From Forum experience I can say that one aspect of the spellcheck problem, >viz., that suddenly it ceases working, seems to arise mostly from over hasty >close down of the computer, such as snapping a laptop lid shut before the >hardware/software write buffers have flushed to disk (remember also that many >modern disk drives have internal buffering and journalling to appear to speed >matters up). Advising users who regularly experience spellcheck loss to wait for a few seconds between closure of OpenOffice and power down seems to cure their problem. I would not be so rash as to claim that this is the universal cure-all for spellcheck problems, but that advice seems to cure the majority of "sudden disappearance of spellcheck" problems. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
