[opensuse] spelling and grammar check in LO 4.1
Hello: I have openSUSE 12.2 and LO 4.1.5.3 from openSUSE LO repo. I can't find out how to use "spelling and grammar" check. I would like to check the spelling of an English text. If I select Tools=>Spelling and Grammar (or press F7) a window titled "Spelling and Grammar: English (USA)" opens. But: 1. It misses misspelled words (eg "speling"). 2. It stops at words/phrases but the "ignore once" button does not work. 3. In the window the "text language" field is empty. Apart from this when I click Tools=>Language, => for selection=> English (USA) is selected => for paragraph=> nothing is selected, even If I select English, it is not set/remembered => for all text=>nothing is selected, even If I select English, it is not set/remembered Could someone please help with this?

The languagetool is the same as spelling and grammar check (both are F7). It does not work. Frankly, it takes effort no to lose temper when fighting with recent LO bugs and "features".

:-) +1, Apache-0O is worth installing. Neither OO or LO are bug free. LO does not seem to have the same level of development it did in the years past. That just means we, as the community, need to step up our help and contributions in filing bug reports/feature requests, etc... -- David C.

Istvan, IIRC, you have to install a dictionary file for spelling and grammar to function. See: http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/2269/import-dictionary/ I haven't done it in a year or two, recall having to tell it what dictionary to use. -- David C.

Thanks, David. I will check that link. Apart from this,

Istvan, The only other thing I can think of would be the Tools->Options->Lanugage Settings->Writing Aids dialog. Make sure you have your writing aids selected and your Options set: (screenshot - from OO) http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/openSUSE/bugs/114/oo/oo-language-settings.jpg If you have multiple languages installed, also check: Tools->Options->Lanugage Settings->Languages to insure you don't have different languages selected at the same time. You can have multiple defaults, but (without tearing it apart) I'm sure some of the Languages options are mutually exclusive. -- David C.
