Please use Google spellcheck and word association software

[itt]

as the title says i have put a post on this subject and your answer was that i put each word that i am having trouble with in myself. this would take days. google works every time you put the word in a sentence. if i do my writing in gmail "compose" than copy paste to open office for the adding of capitals and editing functions i have found i have no problems. this is what i will be doing in the future to save time and frustration.

What is the language displayed in the centre of the Status bar of OpenOffice? In both my and Zizi64's test, your sample misspelling had correct offers for correction.

In my En-us language setting I got the correct word maintenance and manatee as suggestions from the spellcheck

One problem with your suggestion, that I can see, is that OpenOffice doesn't require internet access in order to be used, however, if the Google spell check and word association was to be implemented (and the proper place to make suggestions like this is to the Development Mailing List) is the fact that OpenOffice would not work correctly unless an internet connection was available.
I realize that most people would be using OpenOffice on a system that has an internet connection, but I, and probably others, occasionally use OpenOffice on a system that doesn't always have an internet connection, thus for those people, at those times, OpenOffice would no longer work properly for them.

We are not here to take requests for changes to the software as we cannot make changes.

We help users to use the software as it is supplied.

So, if you want help, please explain precisely what is not working for you in sufficient detail that we can understand and replicate the problem.

If it is a spell check problem go to the first post in the Writer forum where all the fixes and set up are explained or check the Writer Guide - see Chapters 2 and 3.

As a new poster you will find much useful information in the Writer FAQ, the Writer Tutorials, the up to date Writer guide and the Writer Manual. May I suggest you bookmark the pages.
