Re: [libreoffice-users] Spell check not working

I had this problem and fixed it after someone on this list directed me 
to something like ">> spell checking not working in LBO 3.4.3
>>
>> 
http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/spell-checking-not-working-in-LBO-3-4-3-tt3299202.html#a3302339";. 



      Specifically, I found "path: 
...\LibreOffice\3\user\extensions\bundled" 
("C:\Users\sgraves\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\3\user\extensions\bundled" in 
my case).  I renamed "bundled" to "bundled.err".  Then I restarted 
LibreOffice.  After that, I was able to get what I wanted with 
LibreOffice Writer following the documentation to Tools -> Options -> 
Langauge Settings" and Tools -> Language, ... .  It took some 
experimentation, but I (mostly) got what I wanted.


      NOTE:  Windows (Vista and 7, at least) sometimes hides the 
AppData folder, even when it seems to say it's not.  In Windows 
Explorer, type C:\Users\yourUserID\AppData", and it should appear [with 
"yourUserID" replaced by your user ID].


      Hope this helps.
      Spencer
