Re: [libreoffice-users] Spell check not working

Just for the sake of trying it to see if this helps;
Have you installed the Language Tool or Linguist extensions?  I use 
these as my defaults.
[http://libreoffice-na.us/English/extensions.html]

I have these installed on an old Compaq Win XP system that I just 
installed 3.4.3 on it.  [It did not have LO on it before.]  My test show 
that when I clicked on the "spell check" icon, it opened the spell 
checking system and worked fine for me.

This is the text listed with the extension on the link above.

This award-winning extension is a valuable addition to spell checking in 
multiple languages.  Java must be installed on the computer. For more 
information, visit the English homepage www.languagetool.org.

So if the spell checking does not work.  Try this.  Also, save the 
folder that includes the info on your profile for LO [somewhere else] 
and then delete it.  Then open LO again.  That does some resetting.  If 
the spell checker works then, that would mean your has a bad profile 
file[s].  I know where it is for Ubuntu, but I could not find it in 
Windows without a lot of time in the search.  Also, XP, Vista, and Win7 
seem to have profiles in different places sometimes.  Some Windows user 
may have the exact file/folder name and where it is located.
