Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem with spellcheck

MR ZenWiz

Your sarcasm is unwarranted!

I can type, and I know how to do console installations. But I also read 
on the LibOffice official site that it was recommended to use the 
installation set up for specific distributions! Unfortunately, the 
LibOffice site did not point to your multiple postings.

Furthermore, on numerous occasions I have suffered problems installing 
OpenOffice (from version 1 onwards) and I have had multiple versions of 
OOO installed, and I have suffered problems with that. Moreover, on the 
first installation of LibOffice using the recommended setup, the 
installation broke spell checking. It took me a day to find out how to 
fix it.

LibOffice is a complex package and problems are likely, but it does not 
help anyone to be insulted.

You may find it easy to deal with the situation, and you may have the 
solution, although you had to post a 'more robust' set of instructions, 
so it wasnt so easy after all. Knowing about all the problems entitles 
you to the title of guru.

But I am not a guru, nor are the vast majority of people who want to use 
LibOffice.
