Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem with spellcheck

+1

Well said.  Sorry i can't help with the specific problem.  It is well documented 
and is apparently recommended that people uninstall OpenOffice before installing 
LibreOffice so it surprises me that anyone expects different.  Many apologies 
for my colleagues rudeness but i fear that is the norm for this emailing list.
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

MR ZenWiz

Your sarcasm is unwarranted!

I can type, and I know how to do console installations. But I also read on the 
LibOffice official site that it was recommended to use the installation set up 
for specific distributions! Unfortunately, the LibOffice site did not point to 
your multiple postings.

Furthermore, on numerous occasions I have suffered problems installing 
OpenOffice (from version 1 onwards) and I have had multiple versions of OOO 
installed, and I have suffered problems with that. Moreover, on the first 
installation of LibOffice using the recommended setup, the installation broke 
spell checking. It took me a day to find out how to fix it.

LibOffice is a complex package and problems are likely, but it does not help 
anyone to be insulted.

You may find it easy to deal with the situation, and you may have the solution, 
although you had to post a 'more robust' set of instructions, so it wasnt so 
easy after all. Knowing about all the problems entitles you to the title of 
guru.

But I am not a guru, nor are the vast majority of people who want to use 
LibOffice.
