English Dictionary

Post by Selina Kyle »

I am just wondering if anybody might know a way to get the English Dictionary to actually recognize correctly spelled words without having to add them all, unsuccessfully, to the dictionary. I know I may mistype occasionally, but I do know how to spell properly. I find it very frustrating to see 90% of my documents with a lot of words underline in the red wavy underline indicating an incorrectly spelled word when I know it is spelled correctly. This has been happening to me for at least 5 years.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Can you provide some examples?
It may be an issue with the dictionary that is not well recognized.

See if that helps: [Troubleshooting] Spell check in OpenOffice.
LibreOffice 7.6.2.1 on Xubuntu 23.10 and 7.6.4.1 portable on Windows 10
