Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work . .

I know many users that have Win7 and their LO package works fine.

I know of users that have this spelling issue with Vista and XP.

It is not an issue that can be easily replicated, since only a few 
people seem to have trouble with the spell checking system.  If the 
issue cannot be easy replicated, it becomes very hard to find what code 
or combination of code is causing the problem on only certain systems.  
It could be something as weird as some problem in the Win7 registry that 
is corrupted that could be causing the problem.  I have to run a 
checking system every so ofter to fix the registry errors that happen on 
my various XP and Vista systems I deal with from time to time [mine and 
others].

Oh well, that is why I have been running Ubuntu since 2009 on my main 
desktop and on various servers and laptops before then.
