Spellchecker not working in new install of Linux Mint 18 and LibtreOffic 5.1.2.2hi

[afreeth]

Hi
We have three Linux Mint machines here, all running LinuxMint 18 and Libre Offcie 5.1.2.2 Not one of the machines has a working spell checker!!
I have just done a brand new install of linux Mint 18 on a machine and the spell checker WONT work with that either
Here is the interesting thing, I have just booted from an old hard drive with LinuxMint 17.3 and LibreOffice 5.0.3.2 and the spell checker works just fine.

I am about to reinstall Mint 17.3 on my desktop to see if it works out from the box.

------Two hours later -----------------

just started the machine up with, now with Mint 17.3 and LibraOffice 5.0.3.2 reinstalled and it all works a treat, spell checker is just fine.

I’ve had something similar happen - and I found this somewher on the net which worked for me

SPELLCHECK – this may not work unless you install:-

sudo apt-get install myspell-en-us

AND

sudo apt-get install myspell-en-gb
