Hi :) If you already have a Word document or some other document then you can try opening it in LibreOffice. You don't even need to copy&paste! Just try
1. relax, grab a cuppa tea 2. right-click on the file's icon, a menu should appear 3. in that right-click menu choose "Open with ..." 4. Hopefully LibreOffice Writer should be in there. If not then at the bottom there is usually something like "more programs". LibreOffice's various programs/modules (Writer, Calc etc) should be in there. If that doesn't work or starts looking far too complicated then 1. Open LibreOffice but do File - Close to get back to the LO splash-screen that offers a choice of which module to open. 2. Instead of opening a module just drag the file's icon into the LO window However you got the file open just run the spell check Regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: Robert Burns <joyseyh...@yahoo.com> >To: "users@global.libreoffice.org" <users@global.libreoffice.org>; Tom Davies ><tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk> >Sent: Friday, 12 October 2012, 1:11 >Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work . . > > Hummm thinking wonder if i could copy and paste a doc to Libre then >follow you ideas or do i have to invent; type up a new doc and tryed out Open >Office and I B M lotus and they both hate both windows 7 amazing that can t >get fixed so far; looking at other office programs maybe they all don t hate >win 7 - theirs a bunch of free ones its amazing - later . > >--- On Thu, 10/11/12, Tom Davies <tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: > > >From: Tom Davies <tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk> >Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work . . >To: "Lostsoul" <joyseyh...@yahoo.com>, "users@global.libreoffice.org" ><users@global.libreoffice.org> >Date: Thursday, October 11, 2012, 8:14 AM > > > > >Hi :) >I think just try exactly what you have described. >1.
