Hello.
I am running Open Office 3 on Debian 6 ;
"
OpenOffice.org 3.2.1
OOO320m19 (Build:9505)
ooo-build 3.2.1.4, Debian package 1:3.2.1-11+squeeze7
"
I have not been able to get the spellchecking working.
All of the switches are set, for the spell checking to work, and to "check
spelling as you type", but, even if I manually try to get the spell checker
to check a document, it simply tells me that it has completed, but it does
not pick up any errors.
Has anyone managed to get the spellchecker working in Open Offioce writer
3.x, and, if so, what does it take, to get it to work?
I have even enabled the unknown (to me) dictionary of Attilla the Hun or
whatever it is, that is the first dictionary listed, in addition to the
standard dictionary, but every possible spelling is apparently allowed, and
no spellchecking appears to occur.
Thank you in anticipation.

Hello.
Thank you for that.
That looks like it would lead to the solution.
In checking, the extension appears to be missing in my installation.
However;
In the Extension Manager, the link with the label "Get more extensions
online, leads to http://extensions.libreoffice.org/getmore?cid=920794
, which does not resolve.
In searching for "extensions for openoffice writer" - not as a
contiguous string, but, as separate, individual words, I get results
that include http://extensions.openoffice.org/ , which includes a
dictionary for "US English Spell Checking Dictionary" , but appears to
not include "UK English Spell Checking Dictionary".
Is a UK English spelling dictionary extension, available for Open Office
3.x ?
Also, I note with interest, the extension that is listed on the web page
at http://extensions.openoffice.org/ ;
"Oracle PDF Import Extension", of which, the description appears to be
quite impressive. I have used PDFedit, but have been obly able to
perform minimal editing - changing a couple of words in a document, at a
time.
On the web page at http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/pdfimport
, and on the web page at
http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/node/874/releases ,
the only Linux version for a 64 bit computer, for which provision is
made, appears to be "Linux x86-64" .
I am running Debian Linux 6.0.x on an AMD64 architecture.
Is a version of the "Oracle PDF Import Extension" available for the
AMD64 architecture?
Thank you in anticipation.
