Hi :)
Renaming the users profile is a good first thing to try if any problems happen in LibreOffice, or 
OpenOffice, or pretty much and other OpenSource program
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile
It sets "everything back to factory defaults" in proprietary software the only equivalent tends to 
be to reinstall the whole program.  Oddly reinstalling an OpenSource program doesn't touch your 
User Profile so it keeps all your settings and stuff intact.  

Since you have already just done this and got nowhere we can only hope that Tim from Kracked Press 
is able to help, or that someone else has gained something like his skills and knowledge in this 
area!

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Hi Manfred,

Thanks again for your kind help. So, as per your suggestions:

  You might try to re-synchronize the 'bundled dictionaries':

  - Close LibreOffice (+ Quickstarter, if enabled)
  - Go to '...\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application
  Data\LibreOffice\3\user\extensions\bundled'
  - Rename the folder 'bundled' to (e.g.) 'bundled_old'
  - Restart LibO.

A new folder 'bundled' will be created in the user profile.
All bundled dictionaries should be available.

I followed the above and exactly what you expected would happen ended up
happening. Unfortunately, my spell checker remained broken. Still no fat
check mark.

Addendum:
(1) Checking the program folder 'extensions'
[Path: ...\Program_Files\LibreOffice 3.5\share\extensions]
- Folder 'dict-en' is available (with the file 'en_US.dic' [among
others])?

Both the folder and the file are present.

(2) Your LibreOffice 3.5.2 installation: default or customized
installation?

Default.

(3) Does the problem occur--right from start--with
- a renamed LibreOffice user profile

I exited LO, deleted the C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application
Data\LibreOffice folder, and restarted. The folder was re-created, but the
spell checker remained broken.

- another / a new user (OS level)?

I created a new user -- an administrator -- and logged out. I logged in as
the new user and started LO. Spell check was still broken in the same way.

Thanks again for your help. Would you have any other ideas? I'd be
enthusiastic to hear them!

Christian
