This has been a recurring issue that happens to people since 3.4.x came out. 

Some people get this issue, while others do not. 

Some people fix it by removing the user profile [in various places 
depending on the system], and then allowing LO to recreate it. 

Others fixed the problem with a reinstall of the package after they 
removed the user profile. 

Still others fixed it by downloading/installing a dictionary extension 
file [.oxt] for the language you want to use.  I try to maintain an 
up-to-date list of all the available dictionaries that I know of. 

http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.5-installs/dictionary.html

with over 180 dictionaries, including over 20 localized Spanish 
dictionaries. 

The official LO extension center also has dictionary files. 

My largest American English dictionary/thesaurus has over 773,000 words 
in its spell checking word list.  I also have British and Canadian 
English dictionaries with over 600,000 words in it. 


I would rename the user profile [Ubuntu Linux has it in a hidden 
.libreoffice folder, but I do not remember where the different Windows 
ones are located].  Then I would reinstall the LO version you are 
using.  Then to give you some extra "help", I would download an 
localized dictionaries you might want to use and install them with the 
Extension Manager.  That will cover all your bases and may give you some 
more localized dictionary options that the "normal" LO install does not 
cover. 

The reasons why the Spell-checking issue happens to some but not others, 
is a mystery to many of us.  But these steps usually correct the problem.
