Libre Office - Spell Check not working [SOLVED]

Postby caf4926 on Fri Aug 24, 2012 10:41 am

In Mint 13 KDE _64 (other ver. not tested)

Spell check isn't working properly.
Auto correct will work as it does, on some words.
But miss spelled words do not get picked up as you type.

Anyone?

hi caf4926,

I have not noticed any problem here on 64 bit Cinnamon version so I suspect it has something to do with KDE and maybe missing
Dictionaries.

Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install myspell-en-us

Could use Synaptic or Aptitude or change languages.
