Can you please help? I had a problem in LO 7.3 that the Spellchecker failed to find any spelling errors. As part of this investigation I upgraded to version 7.6 - with the same result.
If I run the Spellchecker using F7, or have it set up to check for errors while typing, there are no errors found - even if I deliberately insert misspelled words
This affects both Writer, Impress and Calc. As I normally use only Calc and Base and do bother with the spellchecker in these then it’s possible that spellchecker has never worked on my machine. I cannot recall it working.
I’ve searched the Online help and this support forum without success.
The background information is -
LibreOffice version.7.6.0.3 on Windows 10.0 build 19045
When I press F7 I get the dialog box with “Spelling: [None]” in the Title Bar and the Text Language is set to [None].
When I go to Tools/Options/Language Settings/Languages the “Default Language for Documents” is set to “Default - English UK” and this entry lacks a tick next to it.
From Tools/Options/ Language Setting/Writing Aids there are language modules loaded - Hunspell Spellchecker, Libhyphen Hyphenator and MyThes Thesaurus. If I try the Edit button I get “Default - English UK” again. If I try to edit the language modules the language option doesn’t have a tick next to it.
From the help text I can see “The spellcheck for the selected language only functions when you have installed the corresponding language module. A language entry has a check mark in front of it if the spellcheck is activated for this language” but how do you install a language module? The help text Edit module does not help me.
I’ve tried following this guidance How to Download and Install Language Pack in LibreOffice and get this screen, which tells me that English (UK) is already installed.
I do have the other screen shots but this system will only only one image to be added.
Thank you for any help that you can provide.
