Hi :) I think it's one of the Extensions on this page http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/american-british-canadian-spelling-hyphen-thesaurus-dictionaries
Extensions are probably best known as Add-ons or Plug-ins in other projects. Extensions is the older word and really needs to be modernised and upgraded to one of the newer names that people do tend to recognise because it's just confusing now. The word has been used to mean other things that we often need to talk about in LO. The main page is http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center but often other 3rd party Extensions can be found in all sorts of odd places and OpenOffice Extensions probably also still work. Some won't though and as the projects diverge less of the AOO or old OOo ones will be compatible. I just stumbled on this article by the Unixmen mag http://www.unixmen.com/ten-nice-extensions-for-libreoffice/ I've never used any of them but spotted one i really liked the look of so i've downloaded it and double-clicked it to see if it "does what it says on the tin" Regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: Lostsoul <joyseyh...@yahoo.com> >To: users@global.libreoffice.org >Sent: Friday, 12 October 2012, 11:41 >Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work . . > >beats me how do i try that / > >--- On Fri, 10/12/12, Tom [via Document Foundation Mail Archive] ><ml-node+s969070n4012846...@n3.nabble.com> wrote: > > >From: Tom [via Document Foundation Mail Archive] ><ml-node+s969070n4012846...@n3.nabble.com> >Subject: Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work . . >To: "Lostsoul" <joyseyh...@yahoo.com> >Date: Friday, October 12, 2012, 4:10 AM > > >Hi :) >I thought most people that had trouble with spell-checkers fixed it by just >downloading and installing one of the dictionaries from the NA (North >American) Dvd Project?
