backported libreoffice minus its autospellcheck
 

Yesterday I installed the backported version of libreoffice which is
working reasonably well, except for writer not having the
autospellcheck enabled. Does anyone know of a workround for this that
will enable spellchecking to be done as i type please?

Thanks
Sharon.

Hi Sharon,

I have that setup on one machine and the auto spell check is working.

First suggestion - do you have a myspell dictionary installed? Search
for package names beginning "myspell-" and install one or more of them.

Secondly (and please forgive me for mentioning this just in case you
have overlooked it), but is your auto spell check switched on? There's
a toolbar button or you can set it under Tools -> Options -> Language
Settings -> Writing Aids -> Options -> Check spelling as you type.

I hope this helps.

Oh and you'll need to restart LibreOffice after installing a myspell-*
package.

Yes the autocheck button is ticked, but its still only working
intermittently, not all the time unfortunately.

Thanks
Sharon.

Apparently the .list and .postrm files in /var/lib/dpkg/info can be
left behind by packages which have been removed - I have examples of
that for other packages.

Looking at your list of files and the links below (and assuming that
your locate database is up to date), I suspect that you may have
installed myspell-en-gb and myspell-en-us and subsequently removed
them, and now have hunspell-en-us installed.
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/all/myspell-en-gb/filelist
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/all/myspell-en-us/filelist
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/all/hunspell-en-us/filelist

Perhaps you could check that by running

dpkg -l hunspell-en-us myspell-en-gb myspell-en-us

Unfortunately nothing above explains intermittent working. If you can
identify a repeatable pattern of behaviour then you could report a bug.

No problem, you need to install the myspell-en-gb package.
Then you need to restart LibreOffice before you can use it in the
auto-spellcheck.

Thanks for this Clive, I'd just installed the myspell-en-gb deb before
reading this email, but I hadn't got round to restarting libreoffice.
But now I have and the autospellcheck is working well.

Many thanks
Sharon.
