Hang on hang on your off track again amazing. all i said was i never had a problem using libre
with vista and that libra is giving me a problem with windows 7 never mentioned recovery or
partitions have no idea where that came from but yes ideally a remote view ing of my lap top would
fix my libre / win 7 issus but i guess no one out their can do that with me.
Will try the big download of libre tomorrow been busy today; but amazing how off track you are -

Hi :)
Would you like someone to access your machine remotely and fix LO for you to make it all better?
I have installed LO on several Win7 machines but you are right, i do avoid using Win7. I've never
had any trouble with LO on it when i do use it. Installs have been very smooth and it's all gone
really well. People use those machine and even use LO with no troubles whatsoever. It's not clear
why you can't perform simple tasks that everyone else seems to manage.
The best way would be to start the remote desktop thing and save the little file it gives you.
Then attach that file to a private email, not to the whole list! In the email itself give the code
that they set in the little pop-up box. Copy&paste works.
You can probably work out why we try to avoid doing this sort of thing! We prefer it if users can
start to learn how to think for themselves so they can help their friends / colleagues directly
without needing to take up a lot of other people's time on technical support.
Unfortunately that does mean the person has to think a little bit sometimes (which can be
dangerous). Since you are having so much trouble with that it looks like remote assistance might
be about your only hope unless you take your machine to a shop.
It sounds like you have tried to install Win7 yourself and not yet finished all the dreary nonsense
to finish the process. A shop might be able to finish the process or perhaps revert to Vista.
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi :)
I think what i would be tempted to do at this stage, since you have put so much time&effort in is
to resize the Win7 partition to around 30-50Gb and then get an Ubuntu Cd and install Ubuntu on
however much space you have left (assuming you have over 15Gb to spare). Ubuntu comes with tons of
programs already installed so it very usable right from the start.
http://www.ubuntu.com/
The download button is halfway down the left side, just under the title "Rock Solid".
Windows is a Pita to install. I think probably a lot of people on this list share your pain as
there are probably a lot us here that have had to try it too. With hindsight i think it's usually
best to stick with whatever is already on the machine but just shrink the partition as small as
reasonably possible and then use the rest of the space for the new install of whatever.
Win7 is great once it's installed and got all the programs but it sounds like yours has something
wrong with it, or with the LO install or something. Like i say it is a total pain to install.
Not that once you have created the Ubuntu Cd you can boot-up straight from the Cd without even
installing it so you can test-drive the look&feel of Ubuntu. We call it a "Live Cd session". You
can make a Usb one which is a lot faster but people often still call it LiveCd even if it's Usb.
Regards from
Tom :)

Did you try to open the file in the browser or download it? Right-Click
and do a "save link as".
Once you download a ".oxt" extension file, dictionary or other, then you
open LibreOffice. Go to "Tools" and then "extension manager". Use the
"Add" option.
My American, British, and Canadian dictionaries are listed in the
Extension Center, but hosted externally.
The quickest way to get them is go directly to my current dictionary
page on the NA-DVD web site.
http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.5-installs/dictionary.html#english
My dictionaries start with "kpp".
This is a direct link to my largest American English dictionary and
thesaurus - 773,407 spelling words in its word list. The British and
Canadian versions are at about 639,000 words.
http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.5-installs/add-on-dictionaries-large-list/kpp-american-english-dictionary-plus-tech-words-773407-words.oxt
<http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.5-installs/dictionary.html#english>
I use LO 3.5.6 right now, but there should be no issues with the .oxt
extensions, dictionary or other types, with the 3.6.x line.

Just wonderful tryed the first link and all i get is and i quote - " OTX file not supported "

Hi :)
I think it's one of the Extensions on this page
http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/american-british-canadian-spelling-hyphen-thesaurus-dictionaries
Extensions are probably best known as Add-ons or Plug-ins in other projects. Extensions is the
older word and really needs to be modernised and upgraded to one of the newer names that people
do tend to recognise because it's just confusing now. The word has been used to mean other
things that we often need to talk about in LO. The main page is
http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center
but often other 3rd party Extensions can be found in all sorts of odd places and OpenOffice
Extensions probably also still work. Some won't though and as the projects diverge less of the
AOO or old OOo ones will be compatible.
I just stumbled on this article by the Unixmen mag
http://www.unixmen.com/ten-nice-extensions-for-libreoffice/
I've never used any of them but spotted one i really liked the look of so i've downloaded it and
double-clicked it to see if it "does what it says on the tin"
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi :)
I thought most people that had trouble with spell-checkers fixed it by just downloading and
installing one of the dictionaries from the NA (North American) Dvd Project? I think they are
oxt's so just downloading and then double-clicking on the downloaded file.
Ubuntu is another operating system. Win7 is an operating system. Xp was/is. OS X is. Each
has it's own advantages and disadvantages.

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.

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.

Tom :)

Hello,

Ok using Libre version 3.6.2.2 and my auto spell doesn t and even worse when
i click on manual spell check all i get is the stupid question do i want to
start at the top; i click yes
I think that question is not stupid. 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. The menus and options names above are
freely translated.
