Hello:
I've been unable to install spell checkers with LibreOffice under
Windows 7.
Tools -> Options -> Language Settings -> Writing Aids" shows NO
available language modules. "Tools -> Extension Manager" produced a list of
43 available extensions. I select one and click Add. This opens a window
indicating it wants a file with extension .oxt, .uno.pkg, or .zip, and I
can't find any such that seems to fit.
The Extension Manager shows the *installed/(added)* extensions.
You don't need to install the extensions once again.
Suggestions? This is under Windows 7 with LibreOffice 3.4.2 and 3.4.3.
I both cases, I installed the companion
LibO_3.4.2_Win_x86_helppack_en-US.exe /
LibO_3.4.3_Win_x86_helppack_en-US.exe. ("Control Panel -> Programs and
Features" shows both LibreOffice 3.4 and LibreOffice 3.4 Help Pack
(English).
A first workaround:
spell checking not working in LBO 3.4.3

The only things I get in that "language modules" is Hunspell - which is
part of Ubuntu
and the extras I install, like
http://libreoffice-na.us/English/add-ons-extensions/LanguageTool-1.2.oxt
plus the extras, like dictionaries, I installed after I installed the LO
package.
Until the LO extension system is finished, try installing some helpful
extensions from this page.
http://libreoffice-na.us/English/extensions.html
Language Tool, Writer's Tools, Writer Extras, Pagination, etc., are the
one I would start with. You should see Language Tool in that "language
module" section. Also, any grammar checkers installed should show up there.
This page
http://libreoffice-na.us/English/dictionary.html
has many dictionaries, thesauruses, and other similar writing aids.
For English, I would start with the one listed as: "English Dictionary
- modified from the original version". That has a both the dictionaries
and thesauruses for US English, plus some GB English.
As for the workaround in the "nabble" link, for Linux, I tend to delete
first the hidden folder of ".libreoffice" and see if that fixes the
problems. When you restart LO, that folder will be recreated with all
your new defaults. If that does not fix the problem, then I go deeper.
It usually works for me.
