A good Grammar Checker is hard to find and develop.SO, with that said, there are Grammar Checking systems written for LibreOffice. I have not used them, or rarely with 3.4.x line, but they are out there and are being used.
Check the Extension Center. You might find some there for your language. I have some on my NA-DVD for some of the languages listed.

Hi :) Ahh, you mean a grammar checker? The only real spelling mistake was "shlder". On my street, well in the houses along my street, there are about 3 Toms. I can imagine other places where there might be a lot of Suzans. Capitalisation is a worry though! Have you got weird settings somehow in Tools - Options - "Language Settings" - "Writing Aids" - Options That options box at the bottom of the writing aids page has quite a lot of odd settings that seem relevant.

To: "Lostsoul" <joyseyhere@yahoo.com> Date: Thursday, October 11, 2012, 9:16 PM 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.

To: "Lostsoul" <[hidden email]>, "[hidden email]" <[hidden email]> Date: Thursday, October 11, 2012, 8:14 AM Hi :) I think just try exactly what you have described. 1. Just save the file 2. close the file 3. double-click to open it 4. click on the spell-check button If step 3 opens the file in anything other than LibreOffice then 1. close the file again 2. right-click on the file's icon, a menu should appear 3. in that right-click menu choose "Open with ..." 4. Hopefully LibreOffice Writer should be in there. If not then at the bottom there is usually something like "more programs". LibreOffice's various programs/modules (Writer, Calc etc) should be in there. If that doesn't work or starts looking far too complicated then 1. Open LibreOffice but do File - Close to get back to the LO splash-screen that offers a choice of which module to open. 2. Instead of opening a module just drag the file's icon into the LO window Probably the 1st set of 4 steps will do the trick. The rest is just in case it's being awkward. I have forgotten which OS you are using but they are all pretty much the same except Mac. However, there are slight differences so please let us know which OS you are using to get better detail. Windows? Xp, Win7? Ubuntu, Mageia, Fedora openSUSE or some other flavour of Gnu&Linux? OS X or other Mac? It seems unlikely you are using a BSD (unless you count Mac) but if you are there might still be someone on this list using it although i think they tend to go off to the devs list fairly quickly or use their own down-stream forums/lists.

Some people just want to start spellchecking at the current location. YMMV.but then i get the boot telling me its all finished and it isn t ! ? So whats that crap all about and how do i fix it ? ? H E L P waiting . .Check that in Format / Characters the language is defined as you wish. If it is defined as [none] no wonder you get the behaviour you're meeting. The best way to fix the undefined language is to set the underlying paragraph style: (the paragraph being selected or the insertion point being in the faulty paragraph) 1. F11 (or Format / Styles and formatting). A new toolbar shows up. 2. Make sure the Paragraph styles list is selected (first toolbutton from the left) 2. Right-Click the selected style name 3. Select Change 4. In the Font page, go to Language list. Set the language to the desired value. 5. Validate And you're set! Note: I'm using an FR interface.
