My spell-checker does not seem to work?


Documentation checkarticle.png This article needs to be checked for accuracy and style.



There are several options to check:

  • Tools>Options>Language Settings>Writing Aids and check that the Hunspell SpellChecker is ticked, otherwise when you run the spell checker it will not pick up any mistakes.
  • Tools>Options>Language Settings>Languages and select the dictionary you want. If the dictionary is not installed, download it from Dictionaries.
  • Check Format>Paragraph>Font tab and Format>Character>Font tab to make sure there is the little ABC✓ check mark in front of the language (which means that the dictionary is installed). If the dictionary is not installed, download it from Dictionaries.
