To: "Lostsoul" <joyseyhere@yahoo.com> Date: Saturday, October 13, 2012, 8:27 AM I know of several people that use LibreOffice on Win7 machines. Most of them use it on laptops, since they did not buy desktops. Actually I was the one to install LO on their laptops. If you go to a freeware site and find such small sized LO install files, the something is wrong with their installs. Sites line the North American Community DVD Project - http://libreoffice-na.us - are OK since they are dedicated to LibreOffice and its distribution of the original files from the LO site. Actually I run that site [NA-DVD one], The current size for 3.5.6 is about 211 MB in size. I do not know what the size of 3.6.2, but it should be close to it, not anyways near 28 or 120 MB in size. I would stick with the official LO site, unless you find a regional site that is dedicated to LO, like the NA-DVD site. If the freeware sites are offering such a small download package for LO, then I would not trust them. The only reason the NA-DVD site has LO files in their site, is the fact that their web site versions of the NA-DVD are the same as the DVD media for the NA-DVD, with all of the needed install files and all of the extras on top of those files.

To: "Lostsoul" <[hidden email]> Date: Friday, October 12, 2012, 12:34 PM I think there is some other issues going on with this user and Ubuntu will not fix the problem. The person will be a Windows user and not a Linux user in the foreseeable future. Where is he getting a 28MB or a 108 MB version of LO is my concern. I do not remember Windows LO being that small. Then there is the comment of being a use for 3 years. LO 3.3.0 came out in the beginning of last year, so it has not be out for 3 years yet. If the person installed a version of LO that is not the proper file size, then there will be trouble. I think the best thing to do is a complete uninstall of LO and then download a fresh copy from the web site and make sure what is downloaded matches the file size of the package. On 10/12/2012 11:34 AM, Tom Davies wrote: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.

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 :)________________________________ From: Lostsoul <[hidden email]> To: [hidden email] Sent: Friday, 12 October 2012, 11:41 Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work . . beats me how do i try that / --- On Fri, 10/12/12, Tom [via Document Foundation Mail Archive] <[hidden email]> wrote: From: Tom [via Document Foundation Mail Archive] <[hidden email]> Subject: Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work . .

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.

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.

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.
