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? I think they are oxt's so just downloading and then double-clicking on the downloaded file. Ubuntu is another operating system. Win7 is an operating system. Xp was/is. OS X is. Each has it's own advantages and disadvantages.

To: "Lostsoul" <[hidden email]> Date: Thursday, October 11, 2012, 9:16 PM I know many users that have Win7 and their LO package works fine. I know of users that have this spelling issue with Vista and XP. It is not an issue that can be easily replicated, since only a few people seem to have trouble with the spell checking system. If the issue cannot be easy replicated, it becomes very hard to find what code or combination of code is causing the problem on only certain systems. It could be something as weird as some problem in the Win7 registry that is corrupted that could be causing the problem. I have to run a checking system every so ofter to fix the registry errors that happen on my various XP and Vista systems I deal with from time to time [mine and others]. Oh well, that is why I have been running Ubuntu since 2009 on my main desktop and on various servers and laptops before then.
