I cannot for the life of me get the spellcheck to function. Any ideas out there?

Try the approach that is documented (http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries) by OpenOffice. It worked for me...

here's what i did
i downloaded dictionary from openoffice.org site, and from openoffice i simply added it as extension (tools > extension manager...).
Works great

Thank you very much. That was easy!
Everything is easy when you know what to do.

Doesn't work for me. This is a well known problem, I just never found a solution on the web.

Even when I try to get the auto-spellcheck working in Solaris 2008.11 - it just doesn't work. I read the help files, I follow directions, and nothing.
Maybe this is Gods way of telling me I need to learn to spell, because this just isnt working.

Followed instructions 100%. Doesn't work for me.

Has anyone tried the Lotus Symphony yet?

Maybe some vote?

So installing dictionary by macro is not possible.

It fails if you use the packages from good-day...

Sure, these are patches for ports tree.

I'm currently using OOo 3.1 @ 8-CURRENT amd64 + shar-1.sh, dictionaries are working.


// Nevermind. I misunderstood you probably.

I've built today OOo 3.1 with these patches from good-day sources.
