Fr David Ousley said the following on 11/28/2010 10:19 PM:
After the most recent "zypper up" I've lost the spell checker in Open
Office Writer. It is is now version 3.2.1.6-1.1-x68_64, build 9502. The
splash the comes up is the Sun one, not the Suse one. The manual checker
never finds anything, and the automatic one never underlines anything. It
is turned on. The underlining works with (e.g.) the email composer in
Opera. Anyone else have the problem, and perhaps a solution?

The spell checker in OOo is a thing unto itself; actually a number of
programs are like that. It has no relationship to the spell checker
used by the browsers or the email.

I have

OpenOffice.org 3.2.1
OOO320m19 (Build:9505)
ooo-build 3.2.1.6

although I haven't seen it update for a while.
Spelling error detection and correction works fine.

# rpm -q -a |grep -i spell
ispell-american-3.3.02-90.1.i586
myspell-british-20100316-35.1.noarch
ispell-3.3.02-90.1.i586
ispell-british-3.3.02-90.1.i586
aspell-en-6.0-164.1.i586
myspell-american-20100316-35.1.noarch
aspell-en-huge-6.0-164.1.i586
aspell-0.60.6-32.1.i586
hunspell-1.2.8-8.1.i586
hunspell-tools-1.2.8-8.1.i586

Do you have this updated to match :


OpenOffice_org-LanguageTool - Language Checker for OpenOffice.org

This package provides the language checker extension for OpenOffice.org.
It allows to detect errors that a simple spell checker cannot detect,
e.g. mixing up there/their, no/now etc. It can also detect some grammar
mistakes. It does not include spell checking. The language checker uses
special dictionaries that are provided by the
OpenOffice_org-LanguageTool-<lang> packages.
