hi

working from windows 7 i work on documents in both English and French and whenever I change the language then I have no longer spell checker.

I would think it comes from the option between selection/text/paragraph where when you select a different one than the selection it messes the whole process of spell checking.

thanks in advance for ur help

@dtlopez – that works fine for me.

What version of LibreOffice? What file format?

Does AutoSpellcheck work fine with monolingual documents (English/French)?

How do you "change the language" (step-by-step)?

A new check list ;)

Are the English and French dictionaries shown in "Tools → Extension Manager" (without any error message)?

check-list_spellcheck

(1) Is "English (UK)" shown in in the language field of the "Status Bar" when you open a new empty Writer document?

(2) Menu "Tools → Options → Language Settings → Writing Aids → Available language modules”:
Is "☑ Hunspell SpellChecker" enabled?

(3) Menu "Tools → Options → Language Settings → Writing Aids → Available language modules → Edit...
→ Language English (UK) / → Language French (France):
Are the English and French dictionaries shown with an "ABC check-mark"?

(4) Is "Spelling ☑ Hunspell SpellChecker" enabled for English (UK) / French (France)?

(5) Menu "Tools → Options → Language Settings → Writing Aids → Options":
Is "☑ Check spelling as you type" enabled?

Please, could you upload a sample document (English/French) with the spellcheck issue?

sorry but I can not upload "english (uk)" in menu - tools - options - language settings - writing aids - Hunspell SpellChecker - edit - language english (UK). It is shown as "indian" like this - image description But when I make changes in the option (that is in options - language - selecting UK english (which shows abc in front of it) though this appears -

After doing this I click on close, nothing changes... the old problem persist and that problem is I can not have dictionary set to UK english. What to do?
