Recently I was working on an article in Open Office 3 under Ubuntu 9.4. After I finished multiple pages, I realized that it thought my spelling was perfect. Those of you who know me, know my spelling is quite horrible.
My languages were all correct as was my spell check engine. But OO just kept saying that my spell check was perfect. After some Internet scouring I learned that the spell check dictionary is now an "extension". Here is what I did.
I started OO Writer and went into the Tools Menu to Package Manager. From there there was no spell checker installed. I just followed the "Get more extensions here" link and downloaded the Canadian English dictionary. I had to unpack the tarball file and then using the add button, locate the unpacked file.
Close up OO, remove the file (its not needed anymore) and the when I started OOWriter once again, I saw that ever familiar hodge podge of red ink on my document!
Ahh, Bliss again!
Cheers all!
