Hi :) Sorry about that! Anyone that is missing Vista must surely be in a fairly dire state. Where did Vista go? Have you been able to try out Tim's suggestion of opening the .oxt by opening LO first and then clicking on Tools - "Extension Manager" and then browse for your .oxt?
I think the dictionary that Tim pointed to http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.5-installs/dictionary.html#english is the one i had been hunting for and is better than the one i suggested. Also as Andreas and Tim both point out the file-sizes you quote are completely wrong. Please download the proper official version of LO from the LO website. This link gets you the newest branch http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ this next link gives you the more stable branch but it has a few less features. http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=win-x86&lang=en-US&version=3.5.6 errrr, that's US of course so you might want this next link instead if you want a different language (or just hack the url address, if you get it wrong you'll probably just get the north american one again) http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=win-x86 Regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: Lostsoul <joyseyh...@yahoo.com> >To: users@global.libreoffice.org >Sent: Saturday, 13 October 2012, 2:44 >Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work . . > > You' ve lost me again here your way off track . . > >--- On Fri, 10/12/12, Tom [via Document Foundation Mail Archive] ><ml-node+s969070n4012943...@n3.nabble.com> wrote: > > >From: Tom [via Document Foundation Mail Archive] ><ml-node+s969070n4012943...@n3.nabble.com> >Subject: Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work . . >To: "Lostsoul" <joyseyh...@yahoo.com> >Date: Friday, October 12, 2012, 11:35 AM > > >Hi :) >I think what i would be tempted to do at this stage, since you have >put so much time&effort in is to resize the Win7 partition to around > 30-50Gb and then get an Ubuntu Cd and install Ubuntu on however much >space you have left (assuming you have over 15Gb to spare).
