[Solved] Spellcheck not working

Post by jiminy07 »

Hi,

For some reason spellcheck is not picking up any errors in my documents. I have gone through the spellcheck tutorial and nothing seems to relate to my problem or fix it. All the settings seem to be correct but when I go to TOOLS->OPTIONS->LANGUAGES there is no "ABC" next to any of the languages. Also, when I go into TOOLS->OPTIONS->WRITING AIDS->EDIT the module constantly comes up in Czech with no, no matter how many times I change it. There is no save option in the 'edit modules' box, just 'close' or 'back'.

I am using:

Windows XP 64bit
Open Office 2.2.1 (which I am pretty sure was the 64bit edition)

Please help or let me know if you need any more info.

Thank you very much!
Jim. :)

It means that no dictionary is installed. Run the wizard to install them. But you should at least have the dics delivered with OOo by default.
LibreOffice 25.2 on Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE 7 Gigi) and 25.2 portable on Windows 11.
