Checked between Word 200 OO and StarOffice 6, on SuSE 8.1. Really do not see what the issue is, spell check works great for me.
Yes my friend, but I said OPEN OFFICE not STAR OFFICE... Open Office is Star office 5.2 plus/minus some features... apparently one of the features Star Office has that Open Office doesn't is, quoting from SuSE 8.1 User's Manual, page 162 "The spell checking utility Sun purchased for Star Office... replaced (in open office) by... myspell".
This is really quite silly subject
Well... I cannot think of many computer tasks SIMPLER than word processing and spelling checking... this is as real-life, end-user and productive as you can get... I do not care if I cannot play GTA3 or watch "The Bachelorette" on my linux-laptop... but not being able to write a simple letter and have it spell-check IN ENGLISH is something that I consider a pretty BIG FLAW. I have Star Office 6.0... so, what's the point... lets not elude the fact that Open Office, one of the big flagships of Open Source, is not up to the job... today, January of 2003. PS Now I know the avalanche of hate mail is comming... no worries, I already have all my filters for asshole, stupid, pendejo and others ready for it!!!
