My spell-checker does not seem to work?
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 or go to the OpenOffice Welcome Screen and select Tools>Extension Manager>Get More Extensions online. Once you've downloaded the files you need, in the Extension Manager click Add, find the downloaded files. If you are doing multiple downloads select one file at a time and click Open. On the next screen select whether it is for all users or just yourself, read and accept the licence agreement and the file will then be added to your installation.
- 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 or go to the OpenOffice Welcome Screen and select Tools>Extension Manager>Get More Extensions online. Once you've downloaded the files you need, in the Extension Manager click Add, find the downloaded files. If you are doing multiple downloads select one file at a time and click Open. On the next screen select whether it is for all users or just yourself, read and accept the licence agreement and the file will then be added to your installation.
