Re: [libreoffice-users] Linux hyphenation

It works on my Ubuntu 12.04 install[s] and my Windows install[s].

Since it uses the same en_US.dic for the language reference for the
797K+ word list, it may not show up as a different dictionary outside of
the Extension manager.  My last testing for the thesaurus showed the
lookup results of that dictionary first , then showed the original en_US
thesaurus results at the end of those results.

In the top box of the "Writing Aids", I see Hunspell Spellchecker,
Libhyphen Hyphenator, Lightproof grammar checker, and Openoffice.org New
Thesaurus.

The bottom box - at the bottom of the option list - is the check boxes
for the Hyphenate option, plus there is the grammar check boxes.

The only added extension was the American English extension.

I have seen this same issue[s] with dictionary/thesaurus/hyphen system
on and off since 3.4 or 3.5 days.  I believe there has been bug reports
before.  Some people fixed the problem by closing LO and then renaming
the user profile.  When you reopen LO, you will need to reinstall the
American English, since it may have been removed from the extension list.

For Ubuntu, it is ".config/libreoffice/"  I would rename it
".config/libreoffice-old/" or "-backup".  That way you do not loose your
profile if you want to go back to it.
