Spell-checking is no longer possible. The IT dictionary is installed but Italian does not appear in the list of available languages. Other operating problems compared to version 7… make the programme uncomfortable to use. For the time being, we are back to version 7 but the automatic Windows update restores version 24 at the first opportunity. In fact, we are a bit desperate.
Norton update manager or other third party updater?
There is an Italian dictionary extension on the extensions site which I tested recently, it worked without fuss. Italian Spellchecker » Libreoffice Extensions
I seem to remember a similar question here (and - maybe by accident - it was also for Italian), which was related to something in installer.
I suggest to repair the installation, or to reinstall.
By the way: what is your operating system?
No updaters installed. I just downloaded the extension you suggest and it works. Thank you very much.
OS is W10 pro.
When we saw the problem for the first time we:
1- Tried to repair 24.8, no results
2- Removed 24.8 and installed 7.6, it worked
3- 7.6 was automatically removed and 54.8 automatically installed
4- Removed the Automatically check for updates from LO options and repeat point 2
5- 7.6 was automatically removed and 54.8 automatically installed.
We installed the Italian spellcheker from
and now it spell checkinw works on 24.8.
Anyway, other issues (regressions) have been notified on this release of the software and we downgraded to 7.6 for these apart for the spell checking.
Thank you for your suggetions, greetings.
