Re: [libreoffice-users] auto-spell checking not working on a fresh install.

Hi :)
Cool :)  I like the hierarchy view and hadn't known about it before.  It took me a bit of faffing 
around to find it.  Eventually noticed i had to scroll upwards in the drop-down list.  It's not 
intuitive to scroll upwards like that but it does make sense and once you know it's possible you 
start to find it in other areas in LO and other programs.  It beats MS's bubble-sort and exceptions 
list (imo) in their fonts menu because after you know it then it's easier to understand quickly and 
easier to use.  

I hope that helps the op too!
Thanks and regards from 
Tom :)
