Hi :) I am sure it's something to do with just settings. There was a thread about it a few months ago. "Webmaster at Kracked Press" had a good answer but i can't find the thread. I don't know if this is it but in Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Paths is AutoCorrect set at something like /home/username/.libreoffice/3/user/autocorr
Also in Tools - Options - LibreOffice - "Language Settings" - Languages there are 4 drop-downs. The top one often reverts to "English (USA)" but i think they all 'should' be on "Default - English (UK)" ecept currency which 'should' by "Default - GBP" and the bottom option about fonts doesn't have "Default" at the start. In the top box of the 3 boxes in Tools - Options - LibreOffice - "Language Settings" - "Writing Aids" I have "Hunspell SpellChecker" ticked. In the middle box i have 4 "dictionaries" ticked standard [ALL] soffice [ALL] technical [ALL] IgnoreAllList [ALL] In the bottom box i have ticked "check spelling as you type" along with most of the rest of them except "Check words with numbers" and "Hyphenate without inquiry". I have CC'd the message directly to you in the hope that you get the attached screen-shots that way in case they look completely different from yours. Good luck and regards from Tom :) ________________________________ From: Mark Stanton <m...@vowleyfarm.co.uk> To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Sun, 24 July, 2011 9:46:12 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Given up spellchecking? Hi Tom, > Just open the package manager and search for hunspell in there. D*mn! I could'a sworn I'd done that and it wasn't there. I've just done it again and it *is* there. Unfortunately it *is* installed. "Best uninstall & re-install" I thought. If I try to uninstall it KPackagekit (the local GUI installer) says it'll also uninstall "LibreOffice Core"... :-( That's a bit drastic :-| If it's installed then I just need to find a way to (re)tell LO about it. Any hints gratefully received.
