no, not at all a serious question; for one thing, you already know you 
are over-generalizing since you know not everyone has your problem. I 
certainly have no idea how frequent your problem (or problems) are and 
you don't seem to know either.

but sorry I brought up the 'serious question' issue. can we have a 
sense of where things actually stand? in particular I wonder when you 
downloaded a _legitimate_ copy of LO, the spell-checker didn't work; 
so did you follow-through and install the extension?

you were given instructions on how to install extensions. did you 
follow those instructions? there were so many emails and so many 
topics, I lost track and I bet some of your potential helpers may have 
lost track too. if you did, was there an error message? what was the 
result?

not that it's worth much but I remembered I have a netbook here I can 
boot to Windows, some version of Windows 7. I installed LO on it, 
opened a document and ran spell-check. one swallow (=bird) does not a 
spring make, as Aristotle said, but I didn't see any problems (opened 
a document on a usb drive). I conclude word programs don't always hate 
Windows 7.

good luck with all of this. other folks here know LO better than I do.
