OpenOffice doesn't do spellcheck anymore...

Fabio · 2007-12-04 23:07:53

Hi lads, I love using openoffice but recently the spell-check function on it has gone haywire. It simply does not check my documents anymore and when I run a manual scan it tells me all is ok when it isn't! I've gone into tools-options-language settings...and all of that but yet it still won't do it. Any help?

You have to fiddle with the settings a bit. Here are my settings, which work for me anyway.
