Re: [libreoffice-users] Spell check problem on LO 3.5.4.2
You may also want to consider installing the After The Deadline extension. It does well with both spelling and grammar checking.

That may help figure out the problems. I run Ubuntu 64-bit 10.04LTS. For me, it seems that with 3.5.4, I had to make sure my spelling, dictionary, and other language options, were "turned on" to be used. Some were turned off when I went from 3.4.6 to 3.5.4. Look at: Tools>Options>Language Settings>Writing Aids Make sure the proper language options are checked for spell checking, user-defined dictionary, and such. Also try installing this extension [I assume you want English] - as a test of your system. http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.4-installs/add-on-dictionaries-large-list/kpp-american-english-dictionary-638k-word-list.oxt Then go back to the Writing Aids and make sure the en-US is checked in the user defined dictionary section. If you then have an English spell checking ability, then there is something wrong with the installed English dictionary. If it does not work, after the "user defined dictionary" has been checked, then there is something wrong with your installation of LO. There was an issue with the default English dictionary system, which I do not know if it was completely solved for those who system had that issue. So they downloaded an extension for the dictionary they wanted and that helped for some of them. NOTE: On my dictionary list, I have American, British, and Canadian English spelling dictionaries which also include a large Thesaurus, plus a Hyphenation system. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Please specify your OS. You might have a look at 'Bug 50552 - SPELL check does not mark wrong text and capitalization rules' https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50552 .

[libreoffice-users] Spell check problem on LO 3.5.4.2
Hi, I have a bit of a problem on my machine, I downloaded the latest and installed it, now I dont get any spell checking. Even if I use F7 then it only comes back with an empty spell checker even though I know I have done some crazy spelling. How can I solve this?

[libreoffice-users] Spell check problem
Brian Thanks for the reply. I used OpenOffice for several years but for the past several days it crashed every few seconds. As a result I loaded Libreoffice. I opened one of my OpenOffice docs in Libreoffice and almost every word is underlined. When I look at the status bar it says English (USA). When I go to tools | Options | Language Settings | Language it is also set as English (USA). I had no problems with this doc in OpenOffice and my understanding is that both applications use the same spell check system. I am missing something. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
