Recheck Spelling

[rwsjr]

After spell checking a document and saving it, the spell checking and grammar function does not detect any new errors in the document.
Is there an option somewhere to ‘recheck spelling and grammar’ in the document?

Try Menu / Tools / Spelling (F7)

You can recheck Ignored errors by closing the document and reopening it. The ignored status remains for only as long as the document is open.

Hi EarnestAI.
Thanks for your helpful suggestion.
However, I feel it’s a bit inconvenient to have to keep closing a document and reopening it to recheck spelling and grammar.
I think there should be a recheck document function in Writer as there is in MS Word.
Perhaps I’ll suggest it as an Enhancement.
Kind regards,
rwsjr

However, I feel it’s a bit inconvenient to have to keep closing a document and reopening it to recheck spelling and grammar.

Instead of saving and reopening, we can try running a macro (assign it to a convenient keyboard shortcut or create a menu item):

Sub SpellCheckerChanged()
  createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper").executeDispatch(ThisComponent.CurrentController.frame, _
                   ".uno:SpellCheckerChanged", "", 0, Array())    
End Sub

Hi soko192,
Thanks for the suggestion, but I’m afraid that creating a macro is way beyond me.
Best,
