Re: [libreoffice-users] Improper English hyphenation

You said that you downloaded and installed an English dictionary.
Not all of the dictionaries out there have the "hyphen" ability.

Where did you get the dictionary from?
Are you sure it has the hyphenation ability?


This American English extension does have the hyphen ability

You will find British and Canadian versions here.
